To my victorious arm. This day, I mean

To make the uncircumcised tribes confess

There is a God in Israel. I will give thee,

Spite of thy vaunted strength and giant bulk,

To glut the carrion-kites. Nor thee alone;

The mangled carcasses of your thick hosts

Shall spread the plains of Elah; till Philistia,

Through all her trembling tents and flying bands,

Shall own that Judah's God is God indeed!

I dare thee to the trial!
