1 Samuel 17:40-51 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd’s pouch which be had, even in a scrip, with his sling in his hand; and he approached to the Philistine.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴⁰ And he took his staff in his hand, and chose himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd’s pouch which be had, even in a scrip, with his sling in his hand; and he approached to the Philistine. ⁴¹ And the Philistine went and drew nearer and nearer unto David; and the man that bore the shield went before him. ⁴² And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a lad, and ruddy, with a fair appearance. ⁴³ And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest unto me with sticks? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. ⁴⁴ And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the heavens, and to the beasts of the field. ⁴⁵ Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest unto me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the arrays of Israel, that thou hast defied. ⁴⁶ This day will the Lord deliver thee into my hand; and I will smite thee, and remove thy head from thee; and I will give the carcasses of the army of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and all the earth shall know that there is a God for Israel. ⁴⁷ And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not through sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give you up into our hand. ⁴⁸ And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and went and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the battle-array to meet the Philistine. ⁴⁹ And David put his hand into the pouch, and took thence a stone, and slung it, and he struck the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone sunk into his forehead: and he fell upon his face to the ground. ⁵⁰ So David prevailed over the Philistine with the sling and with the stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David. ⁵¹ And David ran, and stood by the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of its sheath, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they fled.
