1 Now the Palashathay (Philistines) asap (gathered) together their machanah (armies) to malachamah (battle); and they were asap (gathered) together at Shawakah (Socoh), which belongs to Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah), and chanah (encamped) between Shawakah (Socoh) and Izaqah (Azekah), in Apasadamayam (Ephesdammim).
2 Shaawal (Sheol / afterlife) and the ayash (man / husband) of Yashar-Al (Israel) were asap (gathered) together, and chanah (encamped) in the imaq (valley) of Alah (these), and set the malachamah (battle) in irak (array) against the Palashathay (Philistines).
3 The Palashathay (Philistines) imad (stood) on the har (mountain) on the one side, and Yashar-Al (Israel) imad (stood) on the har (mountain) on the other side: and there was a gayaa (valley) between them.
4 There yatzaa (go out / come out) out a ayash (man / husband) out of the machanah (camp) of the Palashathay (Philistines), sham (name) Galayath (Goliath), of gath (gath), whose gabah (height) was shash (six) amawath (cubits) and a zarath (span).
5 He had a kawabai (helmet) of nachashath (brass) on his raash (head), and he was clad with a sharayawan (coat) of qashaqashath (mail); and the mashaqal (weight) of the sharayawan (coat) was chamash (five) alap (thousand) shaqalayam (shekels) of nachashath (brass).
6 He had nachashath (brass) shin armor on his ragal (feet / foot), and a javelin of nachashath (brass) between his kathap (shoulders).
7 The chatz (staff) of his chanayath (spear) was like a aragayam (weavers) manawar (beam); and his chanayath (spear's) lahabah (head) weighed shash (six) maah (hundred) shaqalayam (shekels) of barazal (iron): and his tzanah (shield) bearer halak (move) panayam (face) him.
8 He imad (stood) and qaraa (called) to the mairakath (armies) of Yashar-Al (Israel), and amar (said) to them, “Why yatzaa (go out / come out) you come out to set your malachamah (battle) in irak (array)? Am I not a Palashathay (Philistine), and you ibadayam (servants) to Shaawal (Sheol / afterlife)? Barah (choose) a ayash (man / husband) for yourselves, and yarad (let) him come down to me.
9 If he be yakal (able) to lacham (fight) with me, and nakah (kill) me, then will we be your ibadayam (servants); but if I yakal (prevail) against him, and nakah (kill) him, then you will be our ibadayam (servants), and ibad (servant) us.”
10 The Palashathay (Philistine) amar (said), “I charap (defy) the mairakawath (armies) of Yashar-Al (Israel) this yawam (day)! Nathan (give) me a ayash (man / husband), that we may lacham (fight) yachad (together)!”
11 When Shaawal (Sheol / afterlife) and all Yashar-Al (Israel) shamai (hearken / hear) those dabaray (words) of the Palashathay (Philistine), they were chathath (dismayed), and maad (greatly) yaraa (fear / be afraid).
12 Now Dawad (David) was the ban (son) of that Ephrathite of Bayath-Lacham (Bethlehem Judah), whose sham (name) was Yashay (Jesse); and he had shamanah (eight) banayam (sons): and the ayash (man / husband) was an old zaqan (man) in the yamay (days) of Shaawal (Sheol / afterlife), stricken among banayam (men).
13 The shalawash (three) gadawal (very great/important/mighty) banay (my son) of Yashay (Jesse) had yalak (gone) achar (other) Shaawal (Sheol / afterlife) to the malachamah (battle): and the sham (name) of his shalawash (three) banay (my son) who halak (move) to the malachamah (battle) were Alayaab (Eliab) the bakawar (firstborn), and mashanah (next) to him Abayanadab (Abinadab), and the shalayashay (third) Shamah (Shammah).
14 Dawad (David) was the youngest; and the shalawash (three) gadawal (very great/important/mighty) halak (move) Shaawal (Sheol / afterlife).
15 Now Dawad (David) halak (move) shawab (turn) and forth from Shaawal (Sheol / afterlife) to raih (feed) his ab (father) tzaan (sheep) at Bayath-Lacham (Bethlehem).
16 The Palashathay (Philistine) nagash (drew) near shakam (morning) and irab (evening), and yatzab (presented) himself arabaiyam (forty) yawam (day).
17 Yashay (Jesse) amar (said) to Dawad (David) his ban (son), “Now laqach (take / seize) for your ach (brother/kinsman) an ayapah (ephah) of zah (this / that / these) qalay (parched) grain, and these ishar (ten) loaves, and carry them quickly to the machanah (camp) to your ach (brother/kinsman);
18 And bawaa (bring) these ishar (ten) chalab (milk) to the shar (prince / ruler) of their alap (thousand), and paqad (visit) how your ach (brother/kinsman) are shalawam (peace / safety), and laqach (take / seize) back news.”
19 Now Shaawal (Sheol / afterlife), and they, and all the ayash (man / husband) of Yashar-Al (Israel), were in the imaq (valley) of Alah (these), lacham (fighting) with the Palashathay (Philistines).
20 Dawad (David) shakam (rose) up early in the baqar (morning), and natash (left) the tzaan (sheep) with a keeper, and nashaa (lift), and yalak (went), as Yashay (Jesse) had tzawah (commanded) him; and he bawaa (bring) to the place of the wagons, as the chayal (wealth / substance / capability / valor) which was yatzaa (go out / come out) forth to the mairakah (fight) rawai (shouted) for the malachamah (battle).
21 Yashar-Al (Israel) and the Palashathay (Philistines) irak (put) the battle in array, mairakah (army) against mairakah (army).
22 Dawad (David) natash (left) his baggage in the yad (hand) of the keeper of the baggage, and rawatz (ran) to the mairakah (army), and bawaa (bring) and shaal (greeted) his ach (brother/kinsman).
23 As he dabar (word / matter) with them, behold, there ilah (go up / offer) up the ayash (man / husband), the Palashathay (Philistine) of gath (gath), Galayath (Goliath) by sham (name), out of the ranks of the Palashathay (Philistines), and dabar (word / matter) according to the same dabarayam (words): and Dawad (David) shamai (hearken / hear) them.
24 All the ayash (man / husband) of Yashar-Al (Israel), when they raah (see / saw) the ayash (man / husband), nawas (fled) from him, and were terrified.
25 The ayash (man / husband) of Yashar-Al (Israel) amar (said), “raah (see / saw) you seen this ayash (man / husband) who has ilah (go up / offer) up? He has surely ilah (go up / offer) up to charap (defy) Yashar-Al (Israel). It shall be, that the ayash (man / husband) who nakah (kills) him, the malak (king) will enrich him with gadawal (very great/important/mighty) riches, and will nathan (give) him his banath (daughter), and ishah (make) his ab (father) bayath (house) chapashay (free) in Yashar-Al (Israel).”
26 Dawad (David) amar (spoke) to the anashayam (men) who imad (stood) by him, amar (spoke), “What shall be ishah (make) to the ayash (man / husband) who nakah (kills) halaz (this) Palashathay (Philistine), and sawar (takes) away the charapah (reproach) from Yashar-Al (Israel)? For who is this iral (uncircumcised) Palashathay (Philistine), that he should charap (defy) the mairakawath (armies) of the chay (life) Alahayam ()?”
27 The im (nation / people) amar (said) him in this dabar (word / matter), amar (said), “So shall it be ishah (make) to the ayash (man / husband) who nakah (kills) him.”
28 Alayaab (Eliab) his gadawal (very great/important/mighty) ach (brother/kinsman) shamai (hearken / hear) when he dabar (word / matter) to the gadawal (very great/important/mighty); and Alayaab (Eliab's) ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) was charah (hot with anger) against Dawad (David), and he amar (said), “Why have you yarad (come) down? With whom have you natash (left) those mait (few) tzaan (sheep) in the madabar (wilderness)? I yadai (know) your zadawan (pride), and the rai (naughtiness) of your labab (heart); for you have yarad (come) down that you might raah (see / saw) the malachamah (battle).”
29 Dawad (David) amar (said), “What ishah (make) I now done? Is there not a dabar (word / matter)?”
30 He sabab (turned) away from him mawal (toward) achar (other), and amar (said) like that again; and the im (nation / people) dabar (word / matter) him again the same dabar (word / matter).
31 When the dabarayam (words) were shamai (hearken / hear) which Dawad (David) dabar (word / matter), they nagad (rehearsed) them panayam (face) Shaawal (Sheol / afterlife); and he laqach (take / seize) for him.
32 Dawad (David) amar (said) to Shaawal (Sheol / afterlife), “Let no adam (man's) lab (heart) napal (fall / be cast down) because of him. Your ibad (servant) will yalak (go) and lacham (fight) with this Palashathay (Philistine).”
33 Shaawal (Sheol / afterlife) amar (said) to Dawad (David), “You are not yakal (able) to yalak (go) against this Palashathay (Philistine) to lacham (fight) with him; for you are but a youth, and he a ayash (man / husband) of malachamah (war) from his naiwar (youth).”
34 Dawad (David) amar (said) to Shaawal (Sheol / afterlife), “Your ibad (servant) was raih (keeping) his ab (father) tzaan (sheep); and when a aray (lion) or a dab (bear) bawaa (bring), and nashaa (lift) a shah (lamb) out of the idar (flock),
35 I yatzaa (go out / come out) out achar (other) him, and nakah (struck) him, and natzal (rescued) it out of his pah (mouth). When he qawam (rise up) against me, I chazaq (caught) him by his zaqan (beard), and nakah (struck) him, and mawath (death) him.
36 Your ibad (servant) nakah (struck) both the aray (lion) and the dab (bear). This iral (uncircumcised) Palashathay (Philistine) shall be as achad (one) of them, since he has charap (defied) the mairakath (armies) of the chay (life) Alahayam ().”
37 Dawad (David) amar (spoke), “Yahawah () who natzal (delivered) me out of the paw of the aray (lion), and out of the paw of the dab (bear), he will natzal (deliver) me out of the yad (hand) of this Palashathay (Philistine).” Shaawal (Saul) amar (spoke) to Dawad (David), “yalak (go); and Yahawah () shall be with you.”
38 Shaawal (Sheol / afterlife) dressed Dawad (David) with his clothing. He nathan (give) a qawabai (helmet) of nachashath (brass) on his raash (head), and he clad him with a sharayawan (coat) of mail.
39 Dawad (David) strapped his charab (sword) on his clothing, and he tried to move; for he had not tested it. Dawad (David) amar (said) to Shaawal (Sheol / afterlife), “I can't yalak (go) with these; for I yakal (have) not tested them.” Dawad (David) took them off.
40 He laqach (take / seize) his maqal (staff) in his yad (hand), and bachar (chose) for himself chamash (five) chalaq (smooth) abanayam (stones) out of the nachal (stream / river), and shawam (place / establish / appoint) them in the raiyam (shepherds) kalay (bag) which he had, even in his wallet. His qalai (sling) was in his yad (hand); and he nagash (drew) near to the Palashathay (Philistine).
41 The Palashathay (Philistine) yalak (came) on and qarab (drew) near to Dawad (David); and the ayash (man / husband) who nashaa (lift) the tzanah (shield) went panayam (face) him.
42 When the Palashathay (Philistine) nabat (looked) about, and raah (see / saw) Dawad (David), he bazah (disdained) him; for he was but a youth, and adamanay (ruddy), and withal of a yapah (fair) maraah (face).
43 The Palashathay (Philistine) amar (spoke) to Dawad (David), “Am I a kalab (dog), that you bawaa (come) to me with sticks?” The Palashathay (Philistine) qalal (cursed) Dawad (David) by his Alahayam ().
44 The Palashathay (Philistine) amar (said) to Dawad (David), “yalak (come) to me, and I will nathan (give) your bashar (flesh) to the iwap (flying) of the sky, and to the animals of the shadah (field).”
45 Then Dawad (David) amar (spoke) to the Palashathay (Philistine), “You bawaa (come) to me with a charab (sword), and with a chanayath (spear), and with a javelin: but I bawaa (come) to you in the sham (name) of Yahawah () of tzabaawath (armies), the Alahayam () of the tzabaawath (armies) of Yashar-Al (Israel), whom you have charap (defied).
46 Today, Yahawah () will sagar (deliver) you into my yad (hand). I will nakah (strike) you, and sawar (take) your raash (head) from off you. I will nathan (give) the pagar (dead) bodies of the machanah (army) of the Palashathay (Philistines) this yawam (day) to the iwap (flying) of the sky, and to the wild animals of the aratz (Earth/land); that all the aratz (Earth/land) may yadai (know) that there is a Alahayam () in Yashar-Al (Israel),
47 And that all this qahal (assembly) may yadai (know) that Yahawah () doesn't yashai (salvation) with charab (sword) and chanayath (spear): for the malachamah (battle) is Yahawah (), and he will nathan (give) you into our yad (hand).”
48 It happened, when the Palashathay (Philistine) qawam (rise up), and yalak (came) and qarab (come close) near to qaraa (called) Dawad (David), that Dawad (David) hurried, and rawatz (ran) toward the mairakah (army) to qaraa (called) the Palashathay (Philistine).
49 Dawad (David) shalach (send) his yad (hand) in his kalay (bag), laqach (take / seize) a aban (stone), and slung it, and nakah (struck) the Palashathay (Philistine) in his matzach (forehead); and the aban (stone) tabai (sank) into his matzach (forehead), and he napal (fall / be cast down) on his panayam (face) to the aratz (Earth/land).
50 So Dawad (David) chazaq (prevailed) over the Palashathay (Philistine) with a qalai (sling) and with a aban (stone), and nakah (struck) the Palashathay (Philistine), and mawath (death) him; but there was no charab (sword) in the yad (hand) of Dawad (David).
51 Then Dawad (David) rawatz (ran), and imad (stood) over the Palashathay (Philistine), and laqach (take / seize) his charab (sword), and shalap (drew) it out of its thair (razor), and mawath (death) him, and karath (cut) off his raash (head) therewith. When the Palashathay (Philistines) raah (see / saw) that their gabawar (champion) was mawath (death), they nawas (fled).
52 The anashay (men) of Yashar-Al (Israel) and of Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah) qawam (rise up), and rawai (shouted), and radap (pursued) the Palashathay (Philistines), until you bawaa (bring) to Gai, and to the shairay (gates) of Iqarawan (Ekron). The chalal (wounded) of the Palashathay (Philistines) napal (fall / be cast down) down by the darak (way) to Shairayam (Shaaraim), even to gath (gath), and to Iqarawan (Ekron).
53 The banay (my son) of Yashar-Al (Israel) shawab (turn) from dalaq (chasing) achar (other) the Palashathay (Philistines), and they plundered their machanah (camp).
54 Dawad (David) laqach (take / seize) the raash (head) of the Palashathay (Philistine), and bawaa (bring) it to Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem); but he shawam (place / establish / appoint) his armor in his ahal (tent).
55 When Shaawal (Sheol / afterlife) raah (see / saw) Dawad (David) yatzaa (go out / come out) forth amar (said) the Palashathay (Philistine), he amar (said) to Abanar (Abner), the shar (prince / ruler) of the tzabaa (troop), “Abanar (Abner), whose ban (son) is this youth?” Abanar (Abner) amar (said), “As your napash (soul) chay (life), O malak (king), I can't yadai (tell).”
56 The malak (king) amar (said), “Inquire whose ban (son) the young ilam (man) is!”
57 As Dawad (David) shawab (turn) from the nakah (slaughter) of the Palashathay (Philistine), Abanar (Abner) laqach (take / seize) him, and bawaa (bring) him panayam (face) Shaawal (Sheol / afterlife) with the raash (head) of the Palashathay (Philistine) in his yad (hand).
58 Shaawal (Sheol / afterlife) amar (said) to him, “Whose ban (son) are you, you nair (young) man?” Dawad (David) amar (said), “I am the ban (son) of your ibad (servant) Yashay (Jesse) the bayathahalachamay (bethlehemite).”
