Then the king said, "Go, and the Lord be with you."
The king fitted David with heavy armor and gave to him his own sword, but David said, "I am not used to this heavy armor; it will only hinder me."
So he threw it off.
Then David went to a brook near by and chose five smooth stones.
Armed with these five stones and his sling; he went bravely out to meet the giant.
When the giant saw that David was only a boy, he was angry and cried out:
"Do you dare fight with me? I will kill you, and will give your flesh to the birds and the beasts."
David looked at him without fear and said, "You come against me with a sword and with a spear and with a shield, but I come to you in the name of the Lord. This day will he give you into my hand. I will kill you and take your head from you, and I will give the bodies of the Philistines to the birds and the beasts."
