    39David strapped on his sword over the armor and tried to walk, but he was not used to them. He said to Saul, 'I cannot walk in these, for I have not tested them.' So David took them off.

    40He took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, placed them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag, and, with his sling in hand, approached the Philistine.

    41The Philistine came closer and closer to David, with his shield bearer walking in front of him.

    42When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him, for David was just a young man, ruddy and handsome in appearance.

    43The Philistine said to David, 'Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?' And he cursed David by his gods.

    44Then he said to David, 'Come here, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and the wild animals of the field.'

    45David replied to the Philistine, 'You come against me with a sword, spear, and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.'

    46'Today, the LORD will deliver you into my hand. I will strike you down and cut off your head. I will give the corpses of the Philistines’ army today to the birds of the sky and the wild animals of the earth. Then the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.'

    47'And all those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle belongs to the LORD, and He will give you into our hands.'

    48When the Philistine arose and came forward to meet David, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine.

    49David reached into his bag, took out a stone, slung it, and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown to the ground.

    50So 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.

    51Then David ran and stood over the Philistine. He took the Philistine’s sword, drew it from its sheath, and killed him by cutting off his head. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they turned and ran.

    52The men of Israel and Judah rose up, shouted, and pursued the Philistines all the way to the entrance of the valley and to the gates of Ekron. The dead Philistines lay scattered along the road to Shaaraim, as far as Gath and Ekron.
