1 Samuel
Chapters 17:36-42
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
36I killed both a lion and a bear like that! And I will kill that foreigner, Goliath, just like them. Goliath will die because he made fun of the army of the living God.
37The Lord saved me from the lion and the bear. He will also save me from this Philistine.” Saul said to David, “Go and may the Lord be with you.”
38Saul put his own clothes on David. He put a bronze helmet on David’s head and armor on his body.
39David put on the sword and tried to walk around. He tried to wear Saul’s uniform, but David was not used to all those heavy things. David said to Saul, “I can’t fight in these things. I’m not used to them.” So David took them all off.
40He took his walking stick in his hand and went to find five smooth stones from the stream. He put the five stones in his shepherd’s bag and held his sling in his hand. Then he went out to meet the Philistine.
41The Philistine slowly walked closer and closer to David. Goliath’s helper walked in front of him, carrying a large shield.
42Goliath looked at David with disgust. He saw that David was only a handsome, healthy boy.
