23
As he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Pelishti of Gat, Golyat by name, out of the ranks of the Pelishtim, and spoke according to the same words: and David heard them.
24
All the men of Yisra'el, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
25
The men of Yisra'el said, Have you seen this man who is come up? surely to defy Yisra'el is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who kills him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Yisra'el.
26
David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man who kills this Pelishti, and takes away the reproach from Yisra'el? for who is this uncircumcised Pelishti, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
27
The people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man who kills him.
28
Eli'av his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eli'av's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why are you come down? and with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride, and the naughtiness of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle.
29
David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
30
He turned away from him toward another, and spoke after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
31
When the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed them before Sha'ul; and he sent for him.
32
David said to Sha'ul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Pelishti.
33
Sha'ul said to David, You are not able to go against this Pelishti to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
