16：18其中有一个少年人说，我曾见伯利恒人耶西的一个儿子善于弹琴，是大有勇敢的战士，说话合宜，容貌俊美，耶和华也与他同在。
Then answered one of the servants； and said； Behold； I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite； that is cunning in playing； and a mighty valiant man； and a man of war； and prudent in matters； and a ely person； and the LORD is with him。
16：19于是扫罗差遣使者去见耶西，说，请你打发你放羊的儿子大卫到我这里来。
Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse； and said； Send me David thy son； which is with the sheep。
16：20耶西就把几个饼和一皮袋酒，并一只山羊羔，都驮在驴上，交给他儿子大卫，送与扫罗。
And Jesse took an ass laden with bread； and a bottle of wine； and a kid； and sent them by David his son unto Saul。
16：21大卫到了扫罗那里，就侍立在扫罗面前。扫罗甚喜爱他，他就作了扫罗拿兵器的人。
And David came to Saul； and stood before him： and he loved him greatly； and he became his armourbearer。
16：22扫罗差遣人去见耶西，说，求你容大卫侍立在我面前，因为他在我眼前蒙了恩。
And Saul sent to Jesse； saying； Let David； I pray thee； stand before me； for he hath found favour in my sight。
16：23从神那里来的恶魔临到扫罗身上的时候，大卫就拿琴，用手而弹，扫罗便舒畅爽快，恶魔离了他。
And it came to pass； when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul； that David took an harp； and played with his hand： so Saul was refreshed； and was well； and the evil spirit departed from him。
旧约 撒母耳记上（1 Samuel） 第 17 章 （ 本篇共有 31 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
17：1非利士人招聚他们的军旅，要来争战。聚集在属犹大的梭哥，安营在梭哥和亚西加中间的以弗大悯。
Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle； and were gathered together at Shochoh； which belongeth to Judah； and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah； in Ephesdammim。
17：2扫罗和以色列人也聚集，在以拉谷安营，摆列队伍，要与非利士人打仗。
And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together； and pitched by the valley of Elah； and set the battle in array against the Philistines。
17：3非利士人站在这边山上，以色列人站在那边山上，当中有谷。
And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side； and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side： and there was a valley between them。
17：4从非利士营中出来一个讨战的人，名叫歌利亚，是迦特人，身高六肘零一虎口。
And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines； named Goliath； of Gath； whose height was six cubits and a span。
17：5头戴铜盔，身穿铠甲，甲重五千舍客勒。
And he had an helmet of brass upon his head； and he was armed with a coat of mail； and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass。
17：6腿上有铜护膝，两肩之中背负铜戟。
And he had greaves of brass upon his legs； and a target of brass between his shoulders。
17：7枪杆粗如织布的机轴，铁枪头重六百舍客勒。有一个拿盾牌的人在他前面走。
And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam； and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron： and one bearing a shield went before him。
17：8歌利亚对着以色列的军队站立，呼叫说，你们出来摆列队伍作什么呢。我不是非利士人吗。你们不是扫罗的仆人吗。可以从你们中间拣选一人，使他下到我这里来。
And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel； and said unto them； Why are ye e out to set your battle in array？ am not I a Philistine； and ye servants to Saul？ choose you a man for you； and let him e down to me。
17：9他若能与我战斗，将我杀死，我们就作你们的仆人。我若胜了他，将他杀死，你们就作我们的仆人，服事我们。
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。
17：10那非利士人又说，我今日向以色列人的军队骂阵。你们叫一个人出来，与我战斗。
And the Philistine said； I defy the armies of Israel this day； give me a man； that we may fight together。
17：11扫罗和以色列众人听见非利士人的这些话，就惊惶，极其害怕。
When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine； they were dismayed； and greatly afraid。
17：12大卫是犹大，伯利恒的以法他人耶西的儿子。耶西有八个儿子。当扫罗的时候，耶西已经老迈。
Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah； whose name was Jesse； and he had eight sons： and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul。
17：13耶西的三个大儿子跟随扫罗出征。这出征的三个儿子，长子名叫以利押，次子名叫亚比拿达，三子名叫沙玛。
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 firstborn； and next unto him Abinadab； and the third Shammah。
17：14大卫是最小的。那三个大儿子跟随扫罗。
And David was the youngest： and the three eldest followed Saul。
17：15大卫有时离开扫罗，回伯利恒放他父亲的羊。
But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem。
17：16那非利士人早晚都出来站着，如此四十日。
And the Philistine drew near morning and evening； and presented himself forty days。
17：17一日，耶西对他儿子大卫说，你拿一伊法烘了的穗子和十个饼，速速地送到营里去，交给你哥哥们。
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。
17：18再拿这十块奶饼，送给他们的千夫长，且问你哥哥们好，向他们要一封信来。
And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand； and look how thy brethren fare； and take their pledge。
17：19扫罗与大卫的三个哥哥和以色列众人，在以拉谷与非利士人打仗。
Now Saul； and they； and all the men of Israel； were in the valley of Elah； fighting with the Philistines。
17：20大卫早晨起来，将羊交托一个看守的人，照着他父亲所吩咐的话，带着食物去了。到了辎重营，军兵刚出到战场，呐喊要战。
And David rose up early in the morning； and left the sheep with a keeper； and took； and went； as Jesse had manded him； and he came to the trench； as the host was going forth to the fight； and shouted for the battle。
17：21以色列人和非利士人都摆列队伍，彼此相对。
For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array； army against army。
17：22大卫把他带来的食物留在看守物件人的手下，跑到战场，问他哥哥们安。
And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage； and ran into the army； and came and saluted his brethren。
17：23与他们说话的时候，那讨战的，就是属迦特的非利士人歌利亚，从非利士队中出来，说从前所说的话。大卫都听见了。
And as he talked with them； behold； there came up the champion； the Philistine of Gath； Goliath by name； out of the armies of the Philistines； and spake according to the same words： and David heard them。
17：24以色列众人看见那人，就逃跑，极其害怕。
And all the men of Israel； when they saw the man； fled from him； and were sore afraid。
17：25以色列人彼此说，这上来的人你看见了吗。他上来是要向以色列人骂阵。若有能杀他的，王必赏赐他大财，将自己的女儿给他为妻，并在以色列人中免他父家纳粮当差。
And the men of Israel said； Have ye seen this man that is e up？ surely to defy Israel is he e up： and it shall be； that the man who killeth him； the king will enrich him with great riches； and will give him his daughter； and make his father's house free in Israel。
17：26大卫问站在旁边的人说，有人杀这非利士人，除掉以色列人的耻辱，怎样待他呢。这未受割礼的非利士人是谁呢。竟敢向永生神的军队骂阵吗。
And David spake to the men that stood by him； saying； What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine； and taketh away the reproach from Israel？ for who is this uncircumcised Philistine； that he should defy the armies of the living God？
17：27百姓照先前的话回答他说，有人能杀这非利士人，必如此如此待他。
And the people answered him after this manner； saying； So shall it be done to the man that killeth him。
17：28大卫的长兄以利押听见大卫与他们所说的话，就向他发怒，说，你下来作什么呢。在旷野的那几只羊，你交托了谁呢。我知道你的骄傲和你心里的恶意，你下来特为要看争战。
And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men； and Eliab's anger was kindled against David； and he said； Why camest thou down hither？ and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness？ I know thy pride； and the naughtiness of thine heart； for thou art e down that thou mightest see the battle。
17：29大卫说，我作了什么呢。我来岂没有缘故吗。
And David said； What have I now done？ Is there not a cause？
17：30大卫就离开他转向别人，照先前的话而问。百姓仍照先前的话回答他。
And he turned from him toward another； and spake after the same manner： and the people answered him again after the former manner。
17：31有人听见大卫所说的话，就告诉了扫罗。扫罗便打发人叫他来。
And when the words were heard which David spake； they rehearsed them before Saul： and he sent for him。
17：32大卫对扫罗说，人都不必因那非利士人胆怯。你的仆人要去与那非利士人战斗。
And David said to Saul； Let no man's heart fail because of him； thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine。
17：33扫罗对大卫说，你不能去与那非利士人战斗。因为你年纪太轻，他自幼就作战士。
And Saul said to David； Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him： for thou art but a youth； and he a man of war from his youth。
17：34大卫对扫罗说，你仆人为父亲放羊，有时来了狮子，有时来了熊，从群中衔一只羊羔去。
And David said unto Saul； Thy servant kept his father's sheep； and there came a lion； and a bear； and took a lamb out of the flock：
17：35我就追赶它，击打它，将羊羔从它口中救出来。它起来要害我，我就揪着它的胡子，将它打死。
And I went out after him； and smote him； and delivered it out
