If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be
your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then
shall ye be our servants, and serve us.
And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give
me a man, that we may fight together.
When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they
were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem-judah, whose
name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men
for an old man in the days of Saul.
And the three eldest sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the
battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle
were Eliab the first-born, and next unto him Abinadab, and the
third Shammah.
And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.
But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at
Beth-lehem.
And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented
himself forty days.
And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an
ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the
camp to thy brethren;
And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and
look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.
Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley
of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
