Read word by wordThey are with Saul and all the men of Israel in the Valley of Elah, fighting against the Philistines.”
Read word by wordSo David got up early in the morning, left the flock with a keeper, loaded up, and set out as Jesse had instructed him. He reached the camp as the army was marching out to its position and shouting the battle cry.
Read word by wordAnd Israel and the Philistines arrayed in formation against each other.
Read word by wordAnd as he was speaking with them, suddenly the champion named Goliath, the Philistine from Gath, came forward from the ranks of the Philistines and shouted his usual words, which David also heard.

Read word by wordNow the men of Israel had been saying, “Do you see how this man keeps coming out to defy Israel? To the man who kills him the king will give great riches. And he will give him his daughter in marriage and exempt his father’s house from taxation in Israel.”
Read word by wordNow when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking to the men, his anger burned against David. “Why have you come down here?” he asked. “And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and wickedness of heart—you have come down to see the battle!”
Read word by wordBut Saul replied, “You cannot go out against this Philistine to fight him. You are just a boy, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”
Read word by wordDavid replied, “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep, and whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock,
Read word by wordDavid added, “The LORD, who delivered me from the claws of the lion and the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” “Go,” said Saul, “and may the LORD be with you.”
Read word by wordAnd David took his staff in his hand, selected five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag. And with his sling in hand, he approached the Philistine.
Read word by wordNow the Philistine came closer and closer to David, with his shield-bearer before him.
Read word by wordWhen the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him because he was just a boy, ruddy and handsome.
Read word by word“Come here,” he called to David, “and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!”
Read word by wordBut David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
Read word by wordThis day the LORD will deliver you into my hand. This day I will strike you down, cut off your head, and give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the creatures of the earth. Then the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.
Read word by wordAnd all those assembled here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and He will give all of you into our hands.”
Read word by wordThus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
Read word by wordThen the men of Israel and Judah charged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath and to the gates of Ekron. And the bodies of the Philistines were strewn along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron.
Read word by wordDavid took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, and he put Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
Read word by wordAs Saul had watched David going out to confront the Philistine, he said to Abner the commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is this young man?” “As surely as you live, O king,” Abner replied, “I do not know.”
Read word by wordSo when David returned from killing the Philistine, still holding his head in his hand, Abner took him and brought him before Saul.
Read word by wordAfter David had finished speaking with Saul, the souls of Jonathan and David were knit together, and Jonathan loved him as himself.

Read word by wordAnd Jonathan removed the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt.
Read word by wordSo David marched out and prospered in everything Saul sent him to do, and Saul set him over the men of war. And this was pleasing in the sight of all the people, and of Saul’s officers as well.
Read word by wordAs the troops were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs, and with tambourines and other instruments.
Read word by wordAnd as the women danced, they sang out: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”
Read word by wordAnd Saul was furious and resented this song. “They have ascribed tens of thousands to David,” he said, “but only thousands to me. What more can he have but the kingdom?”
Read word by wordAnd from that day forward Saul kept a jealous eye on David.
Read word by wordThe next day a spirit of distress sent from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house while David played the harp as usual. Now Saul was holding a spear,
Read word by wordand he hurled it, thinking, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.

Read word by wordThen Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you in marriage. Only be valiant for me and fight the LORD’s battles.” But Saul was thinking, “I need not raise my hand against him; let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”
Read word by wordAnd David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my family or my father’s clan in Israel, that I should become the son-in-law of the king?”
Read word by wordSo when it was time to give Saul’s daughter Merab to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah.
Read word by word“I will give her to David,” Saul thought, “so that she may be a snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “For a second time now you can be my son-in-law.”
Read word by wordThen Saul ordered his servants, “Speak to David privately and tell him, ‘Behold, the king is pleased with you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, become his son-in-law.’”
Read word by wordBut when Saul’s servants relayed these words to David, he replied, “Does it seem trivial in your sight to be the son-in-law of the king? I am a poor man and lightly esteemed.”
Read word by wordSaul replied, “Say to David, ‘The king desires no other dowry but a hundred Philistine foreskins as revenge on his enemies.’” But Saul intended to cause David’s death at the hands of the Philistines.
Read word by wordWhen the servants reported these terms to David, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. Before the wedding day arrived,
