Place: The battlefield.
[David picks up five smooth stones and puts them into his shepherd bag. Goliath comes toward him. He is dressed in armor, and the man that bears his shield comes before him. Goliath looks surprised and disgusted when he sees David.]
Goliath: Am I a dog that thou comest to me with staves? Come to me and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air and unto the beasts of the field.
David: Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear and with a shield; but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, whom thou hast defied. This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from thee; and I will give the bodies of the Philistines unto the fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the field, that all may know that there is a God in Israel. And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with the sword and with the spear, for the battle is the Lord's and he will give you into our hands!
[David puts his hand into his bag and takes out a stone and slings it, so that it hits the giant in the forehead. The giant falls. The Philistines flee. David stands with his foot on the body of the giant.]
Israelite Soldiers with David: The battle is the Lord's!
