And he left the goods he had brought in the care of a man, and ran in the midst of the troops, and spoke to his three broth-ers.
And while he stood there, Go-li-ath came out from the ranks of the Phil-is-tines, and dared some one to fight with him.
And Da-vid heard his words. And the men of Is-ra-el fled from his face. And Da-vid heard them speak of what would be done to the man who should kill him; for the king would give him great wealth, and set him in a high place.
And Da-vid spoke to the men near him, and made use of strong words.
And his broth-ers told him to go home and take care of his sheep, for it was just a trick of his to come up to camp that he might see the fight.
DA-VID BE-FORE SAUL.
Da-vid said, I have done no wrong! and the men to whom he spoke went and told Saul what he had said. And Saul sent for him, but did not know that he was the same one who used to play on the harp for him.
And Da-vid told Saul he would go out and fight the great man from Gath. And Saul said, Thou art but a youth, and he has been a man of war all his days.
