40. And he took his staff, which he had always in his hands: and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them into the shepherd's scrip, which he had with him, and he took a sling in his hand, and went forth against the Philistine.
41. And the Philistine came on, and drew nigh against David, and his armourbearer before him.
42. And when the Philistine looked, and beheld David, he despised him. For he was a young man, ruddy, and of a comely countenance.
43. And the Philistine said to David: Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with a staff? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44. And he said to David: Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.
45. And David said to the Philistine: Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, which thou hast defied.
