said°°
unto°
Saul,°
Thy servant°
kept°°°
his father's°
sheep,°

a lion,°

a lamb°°°
out of the flock:°° |

17:35
then I went forth after him, and smote him, and drew [the spoil] out of his mouth: and as he rose up against me, then I caught hold of his throat, and smote him, and slew him. |

And I went out°°
after°
him, and smote°°
him, and delivered°°
[it] out of his mouth:°°

me, I caught°°
[him] by his beard,°

him, and slew°°
him. |

17:36
Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear, and the uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them: shall I not go and smite him, and remove this day a reproach from Israel? For who [is] this uncircumcised one, who has defied the army of the living God? |

Thy servant°
slew°°
both°°
the lion°

girded°°°
his sword°

him. |

17:42
And Goliath saw David, and despised him; for he was a lad, and ruddy, with a fair countenance. |
|
17:42
And when the Philistine°
looked about,°°

David,°
he disdained°°
him: for°
he was°
[but] a youth,°

17:43
And the Philistine said to David, Am I as a dog, that thou comest against me with a staff and stones? [and David said, Nay, but worse than a dog]. And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. |

And the Philistine°
said°°
unto°
David,°
[Am] I°

thou°

cursed°°°
David°

And David said to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with sword, and with spear, and with shield; but I come to thee in the name of the Lord God of hosts of the army of Israel, which thou hast defied |

17:45
Then said°°
David°
to°
the Philistine,°
Thou°
comest°°

Sabaoth,°

this day. And the Lord shall deliver thee this day into my hand; and I will slay thee, and take away thy head from off thee, and will give thy limbs and the limbs of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and all the earth shall know that there is a God in Israel. |

17:46
This°
day°
will Yahweh°
deliver°°
thee into mine hand;°

thee, and take°°°
thine head°

thee; and I will give°°
the carcases°

this°
day°

that all°

17:47
And all this assembly shall know that the Lord delivers not by sword or spear, for the battle [is] the Lord's, and the Lord will deliver you into our hands. |

And all°
this°
assembly°

Yahweh°

ran,°°

upon°
the Philistine,°

his sword,°

And the men of Israel and Judah{gr.Juda} arose, and shouted and pursued them as far as the entrance to Gath{gr.Geth}, and as far as the gate of Askelon{gr.Ascalon}: and the slain men of the Philistines fell in the way of the gates, both to Gath{gr.Geth}, and to Ekron{gr.Accaron}. |
