Now David’s words were overheard and reported to Saul, who sent for him.
Read word by wordAnd David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail on account of this Philistine. Your servant will go and fight him!”
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 wordYour servant has killed lions and bears; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God.”
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 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 wordAs the Philistine started forward to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.
Read word by wordThen David reached into his bag, took out a stone, and slung it, striking the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
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 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 wordNow Saul’s daughter Michal loved David, and when this was reported to Saul, it pleased him.
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.”
