- Meanwhile, the Philistine, with his shield bearer in front of him, kept coming closer to David.
- He looked David over and saw that he was only a boy, ruddy and handsome, and he despised him.
- He said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?" And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
- "Come here," he said, "and I'll give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!"
- David said to the Philistine, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

- Then the Philistine came on and approached David, with the shield-bearer in front of him.
- When the Philistine looked and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, with a handsome appearance.
- The Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?" And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
- The Philistine also said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and the beasts of the field."
- Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have taunted.
