1ΚΑΙ συνάγουσιν ἀλλόφυλοι τὰς παρεμβολὰς αὐτῶν εἰς πόλεμον καὶ συνάγονται εἰς Σοκχὼθ τῆς Ἰουδαίας καὶ παρεμβάλλουσιν ἀνὰ μέσον Σοκχὼθ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Ἀζηκὰ Ἐφερμέμ.
1Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.
2καὶ Σαοὺλ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες Ἰσραὴλ συνάγονται καὶ παρεμβάλλουσιν ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι αὐτοὶ καὶ παρατάσσονται εἰς πόλεμον ἐξεναντίας τῶν ἀλλοφύλων.
2And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched in the vale of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
3καὶ ἀλλόφυλοι ἵστανται ἐπὶ τοῦ ὄρους ἐνταῦθα, καὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἵσταται ἐπὶ τοῦ ὄρους ἐνταῦθα, καὶ ὁ αὐλὼν ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν.
3And the Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side; and there was a valley between them.
4καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἀνὴρ δυνατὸς ἐκ τῆς παρατάξεως τῶν ἀλλοφύλων Γολιὰθ ὄνομα αὐτῶν ἐκ Γέθ, ὕψος αὐτοῦ τεσσάρων πήχεων καὶ σπιθαμῆς·
4And there went out a champion from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
5καὶ περικεφαλαία ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ θώρακα ἁλυσιδωτὸν αὐτὸς ἐνδεδυκώς, καὶ ὁ σταθμὸς τοῦ θώρακος αὐτοῦ πέντε χιλιάδες σίκλων χαλκοῦ καὶ σιδήρου·
5And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was clad with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.
6καὶ κνημῖδες χαλκαῖ ἐπὶ τῶν σκελῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀσπὶς χαλκῆ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ὤμων αὐτοῦ·
6And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a javelin of brass between his shoulders.
7καὶ ὁ κοντὸς τοῦ δόρατος αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ μέσακλον ὑφαινόντων, καὶ ἡ λόγχη αὐτοῦ ἑξακοσίων σίκλων σιδήρου· καὶ ὁ αἴρων τὰ ὅπλα αὐτοῦ προεπορεύετο αὐτοῦ.
7And the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron; and his shield-bearer went before him.
8καὶ ἔστη καὶ ἀνεβόησεν εἰς τὴν παράταξιν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τί ἐκπορεύεσθε παρατάξασθαι πολέμῳ ἐξεναντίας ἡμῶν; οὐκ ἐγώ εἰμι ἀλλόφυλος καὶ ὑμεῖς Ἑβραῖοι τοῦ Σαούλ; ἐκλέξασθε ἑαυτοῖς ἄνδρα καὶ καταβήτω πρός με,
8And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them: 'Why do ye come 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 come down to me.
9καὶ ἐὰν δυνηθῇ πολεμῆσαι πρός με καὶ ἐὰν πατάξῃ με, καὶ ἐσόμεθα ὑμῖν εἰς δούλους· ἐὰν δὲ ἐγὼ δυνηθῶ καὶ πατάξω αὐτόν, ἔσεσθε ἡμῖν εἰς δούλους καὶ δουλεύσετε ἡμῖν.
9If he be able to fight with me, and 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.'
10καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀλλόφυλος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ὠνείδισα τὴν παράταξιν Ἰσραὴλ σήμερον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ· δότε μοι ἄνδρα, καὶ μονομαχήσομεν ἀμφότεροι.
10And the Philistine said: 'I do taunt the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.'
11καὶ ἤκουσε Σαοὺλ καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ τὰ ρήματα τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου ταῦτα καὶ ἐξέστησαν καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν σφόδρα. [
11And when Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
12Καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου Ἐφραθαίου· οὗτος ἐκ Βηθλεὲμ Ἰούδα, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ἰεσσαί, καὶ αὐτῷ ὀκτῳ υἱοί· καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Σαοὺλ πρεσβύτερος ἐληλυθὼς ἐν ἀνδράσι.
12Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons; and the man was an old man in the days of Saul, stricken in years among men.
13καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ τρεῖς υἱοὶ Ἰεσσαὶ οἱ μείζονες ὀπίσω Σαοὺλ εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ ὄνομα τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ τῶν πορευθέντων εἰς τὸν πόλεμον, Ἐλιὰβ ὁ πρωτότοκος αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ δεύτερος αὐτοῦ Ἀμιναδὰβ καὶ ὁ τρίτος αὐτοῦ Σαμμά.
13And the three eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the first-born, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
14καὶ Δαυὶδ αὐτός ἐστιν ὁ νεώτερος καὶ οἱ τρεῖς οἱ μείζονες ἐπορεύθησαν ὀπίσω Σαούλ.
14And David was the youngest; and the three eldest followed Saul. —
15Καὶ Δαυὶδ ἀπῆλθε καὶ ἀνέστρεψεν ἀπὸ τοῦ Σαούλ, ποιμαίνων τὰ πρόβατα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐν Βηθλεέμ.
15Now David went to and fro from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Beth-lehem. —
16καὶ προῆγεν ὁ ἀλλόφυλος ὀρθρίζων καὶ ὀψίζων καὶ ἐστηλώθη τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας.
16And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
17καὶ εἶπεν Ἰεσσαὶ πρὸς Δαυίδ· λαβὲ δὴ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς σου οἰφὶ τοῦ ἀλφίτου καὶ δέκα ἄρτους τούτους καὶ διάδραμε εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν καὶ δὸς τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς σου,
17And Jesse said unto David his son: 'Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to thy brethren.
18καὶ τὰς δέκα τρυφαλίδας τοῦ γάλακτος τούτου εἰσοίσεις τῷ χιλιάρχῳ, καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου ἐπισκέψῃ εἰς εἰρήνην, καὶ ὅσα ἂν χρῃ£ζωσι γνώσῃ.
18And bring these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and to thy brethren shalt thou bring greetings, and take their pledge;
19καὶ Σαοὺλ αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τῆς δρυὸς πολεμοῦντες μετὰ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων.
19now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, are in the vale of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.'
20καὶ ὤρθρισε Δαυὶδ τὸ πρωΐ, καὶ ἀφῆκε τὰ πρόβατα φύλακι, καὶ ἔλαβε καὶ ἀπῆλθε, καθὰ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ Ἰεσσαί· καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν στρογγύλωσιν καὶ δύναμιν τὴν ἐκπορευομένην εἰς τὴν παράταξιν· καὶ ἠλάλαξαν ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ.
20And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the barricade, as the host which was going forth to the fight shouted for the battle.
21καὶ παρετάξαντο Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι παράταξιν ἐξεναντίας παρατάξεως.
21And Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army.
22καὶ ἀφῆκε Δαυὶδ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἀφ᾿ ἑαυτοῦ ἐπὶ χεῖρα φύλακος καὶ ἔδραμεν εἰς τὴν παράταξιν καὶ ἦλθε καὶ ἠρώτησε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ εἰς εἰρήνην.
22And David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran to the army, and came and greeted his brethren.
23καὶ αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος μετ᾿ αὐτῶν, ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ὁ μεσαῖος ἀνέβαινε, Γολιὰθ ὁ Φιλισταῖος ὄνομα αὐτῷ ἐκ Γέθ, ἐκ τῶν παρατάξεων τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ ἐλάλησε κατὰ τὰ ρήματα ταῦτα καὶ ἤκουσε Δαυίδ.
23And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words; and David heard them.
24Καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν αὐτοὺς τὸν ἄνδρα, καὶ ἔφυγον ἐκ προσώπου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν σφόδρα.
24And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
25καὶ εἶπεν ἀνὴρ Ἰσραήλ· εἰ ἑωράκατε τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν ἀναβαίνοντα τοῦτον, ὅτι ὀνειδῖσαι τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἀνέβη; καὶ ἔσται ἀνήρ, ὃς ἂν πατάξῃ αὐτόν, πλουτίσει αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλεὺς πλοῦτον μέγαν καὶ τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ δώσει αὐτῷ καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ποιήσει ἐλεύθερον ἐν τῷ ἰσραήλ.
25And the men of Israel said: 'Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to taunt Israel is he come 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.'
26καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς τοὺς ἄνδρας τοὺς συνεστηκότας μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ λέγων· ἢ ποιηθήσεται τῷ ἀνδρί, ὃς ἂν πατάξει τὸν ἀλλόφυλον ἐκεῖνον, καὶ ἀφελεῖ ὀνειδισμὸν ἀπὸ Ἰσραήλ; ὅτι τίς ἀλλόφυλος ὁ ἀπερίτμητος αὐτός, ὅτι ὠνείδισε παράταξιν Θεοῦ ζῶντος;
26And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying: 'What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the taunt from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should have taunted the armies of the living God?'
27καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ λαὸς κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο λέγων· οὕτως ποιηθήσεται τῷ ἀνδρί, ὃς ἂν πατάξει αὐτόν.
27And the people answered him after this manner, saying: 'So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.'
28καὶ ἤκουσεν Ἐλιὰβ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ὁ μείζων ἐν τῷ λαλεῖν αὐτὸν πρὸς τοὺς ἄνδρας καὶ ὠργίσθη θυμῷ Ἐλιὰβ ἐν τῷ Δαυὶδ καὶ εἶπεν· ἱνατί τοῦτο κατέβης καὶ ἐπὶ τίνα ἀφῆκας τὰ μικρὰ πρόβατα ἐκεῖνα ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ; ἐγὼ οἶδα τὴν ὑπερηφανίαν σου καὶ τὴν κακίαν τῆς καρδίας σου, ὅτι ἕνεκεν τοῦ ἰδεῖν τὸν πόλεμον κατέβης.
28And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spoke unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said: 'Why art thou come down? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy presumptuousness, and the naughtiness of thy heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.'
29καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· τί ἐποίησα νῦν; οὐχί ρῆμά ἐστι;
29And David said: 'What have I now done? Was it not but a word?'
30καὶ ἐπέστρεψε παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ εἰς ἐναντίον ἑτέρου καὶ εἶπε κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο, καὶἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ ὁ λαὸς κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα τοῦ πρώτου.
30And he turned away from him toward another, and spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him after the former manner.
31καὶ ἠκούσθησαν οἱ λόγοι, οὓς ἐλάλησε Δαυίδ, καὶ ἀνηγγέλησαν ὀπίσω Σαοὺλ καὶ παρέλαβεν αὐτόν.]
31And when the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed them before Saul; and he was taken to him.
32Καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Σαούλ· μὴ δὴ συμπεσέτω καρδία τοῦ Κυρίου μου ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν· ὁ δοῦλός σου πορεύσεται καὶ πολεμήσει μετὰ τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου τούτου.
32And David said to Saul: 'Let no man's heart fail within him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.'
33καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς τὸν Δαυὶδ· οὐ μὴ δυνήσῃ πορευθῆναι πρὸς τὸν ἀλλόφυλον τοῦ πολεμεῖν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι παιδάριον εἶ σύ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἀνὴρ πολεμιστὴς ἐκ νεότητος αὐτοῦ.
33And 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.'
34καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Σαούλ· ποιμαίνων ἦν ὁ δοῦλός σου τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ποιμνίῳ, καὶ ὅταν ἤρχετο ὁ λέων καὶ ἡ ἄρκος καὶ ἐλάμβανε πρόβατον ἐκ τῆς ἀγέλης,
34And David said unto Saul: 'Thy servant kept his father's sheep; and when there came a lion, or a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock,
35καὶ ἐξεπορευόμην ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπάταξα αὐτὸν καὶ ἐξέσπασα ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰ ἐπανίστατο ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ, καὶ ἐκράτησα τοῦ φάρυγγος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπάταξα καὶ ἐθανάτωσα αὐτόν.
35I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth; and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
36καὶ τὸν λέοντα καὶ τὴν ἄρκον ἔτυπτεν ὁ δοῦλός σου, καὶ ἔσται ὁ ἀλλόφυλος ὁ ἀπερίτμητος ὡς ἓν τούτων· οὐχὶ πορεύσομαι καὶ πατάξω αὐτόν, καὶ ἀφελῶ σήμερον ὄνειδος ἐξ Ἰσραήλ; διότι τίς ὁ ἀπερίτμητος οὗτος, ὃς ὠνείδισε παράταξιν Θεοῦ ζῶντος;
36Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath taunted the armies of the living God.'
37Κύριος, ὃς ἐξείλατό με ἐκ χειρὸς τοῦ λέοντος καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς τῆς ἄρκου, αὐτὸς ἐξελεῖταί με ἐκ χειρὸς τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου τοῦ ἀπεριτμήτου τούτου. καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς Δαυίδ· πορεύου, καὶ ἔσται Κύριος μετὰ σοῦ.
37And David said: 'The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, He will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.' And Saul said unto David: 'Go, and the LORD shall be with thee.'
38καὶ ἐνέδυσε Σαοὺλ τὸν Δαυὶδ μανδύαν καὶ περικεφαλαίαν χαλκῆν περὶ τὴν κεφαλήν αὐτοῦ
38And Saul clad David with his apparel, and he put a helmet of brass upon his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail.
39καὶ ἔζωσε τὸν Δαυὶδ τὴν ρομφαίαν αὐτοῦ ἐπάνω τοῦ μανδύου αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐκοπίασε περιπατήσας ἅπαξ καὶ δίς· καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Σαούλ· οὐ μὴ δύνωμαι πορευθῆναι ἐν τούτοις, ὅτι οὐ πεπείραμαι. καὶ ἀφαιροῦσιν αὐτὰ ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
39And David girded his sword upon his apparel, and he essayed to go, but could not; for he had not tried it. And David said unto Saul: 'I cannot go with these; for I have not tried them.' And David put them off him.
40καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν βακτηρίαν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξελέξατο ἑαυτῷ πέντε λίθους λείους ἐκ τοῦ χειμάρρου καὶ ἔθετο αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ καδίῳ τῷ ποιμαινικῷ τῷ ὄντι αὐτῷ εἰς συλλογὴ καὶ σφενδόνην αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ προσῆλθε πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν ἀλλόφυλον.
40And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's bag which he had, even in his scrip; and his sling was in his hand; and he drew near to the Philistine.
41[Καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὁ ἀλλόφυλος πορευόμενος καὶ ἐγγίζων πρὸς Δαυίδ, καὶ ἀνὴρ ὁ αἴρων τὸν θυρεὸν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν ὁ ἀλλόφυλος.]
41And the Philistine came nearer and nearer unto David; and the man that bore the shield went before him.
42καὶ εἶδε Γολιὰθ τὸν Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐξητίμασεν αὐτόν, ὅτι αὐτὸς ἦν παιδάριον καὶ αὐτὸς πυρράκης μετὰ κάλλους ὀφθαλμῶν.
42And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and withal of a fair countenance.
43καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀλλόφυλος πρὸς Δαυίδ· ὡσεὶ κύων ἐγώ εἰμι, ὅτι σὺ ἔρχῃ ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ ἐν ράβδῳ καὶ λίθοις; καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· οὐχί, ἀλλ᾿ ἢ χείρων κυνός. καὶ κατηράσατο ὁ ἀλλόφυλος τὸν Δαυὶδ ἐν τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτοῦ.
43And the Philistine said unto David: 'Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves?' And the Philistine cursed David by his god.
44καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀλλόφυλος πρὸς Δαυίδ· δεῦρο πρός με, καὶ δώσω τὰς σάρκας σου τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τοῖς κτήνεσι τῆς γῆς.
44And the Philistine said to David: 'Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.'
45καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς τὸν ἀλλόφυλον· σὺ ἔρχῃ πρός με ἐν ρομφαίᾳ καὶ ἐν δόρατι καὶ ἐν ἀσπίδι, κἀγὼ πορεύομαι πρός σε ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου Θεοῦ Σαβαὼθ παρατάξεως Ἰσραήλ, ἣν ὠνείδισας σήμερον·
45Then said David to the Philistine: 'Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast taunted.
46καὶ ἀποκλείσει σε Κύριος σήμερον εἰς τὴν χεῖρά μου, καὶ ἀποκτενῶ σε καὶ ἀφελῶ τὴν κεφαλήν σου ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ δώσω τὰ κῶλά σου καὶ τὰ κῶλα παρεμβολῆς ἀλλοφύλων ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τοῖς θηρίοις τῆς γῆς, καὶ γνώσεται πᾶσα ἡ γῆ, ὅτι ἔστι Θεὸς ἐν Ἰσραήλ·
46This day will the LORD deliver thee into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from off thee; and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel;
47καὶ γνώσεται πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία αὕτη ὅτι οὐκ ἐν ρομφαίᾳ καὶ δόρατι σῴζει Κύριος, ὅτι τοῦ Κυρίου ὁ πόλεμος, καὶ παραδώσει Κύριος ὑμᾶς εἰς χεῖρας ἡμῶν.
47and that all this assembly may know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD'S, and He will give you into our hand.'
48καὶ ἀνέστη ὁ ἀλλόφυλος καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς συνάντησιν Δαυίδ.
48And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49καὶ ἐξέτεινε Δαυὶδ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ κάδιον καὶ ἔλαβεν ἐκεῖθεν λίθον ἕνα καὶ ἐσφενδόνισε καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν ἀλλόφυλον ἐπὶ τὸ μέτωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ διέθυ ὁ λίθος διά τῆς περικεφαλαίας εἰς τὸ μέτωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπί πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
49And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slung it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the earth.
50[Καὶ ἐκραταίωσε Δαυὶδ ὑπὲρ τὸν ἀλλόφυλον ἐν τῇ σφενδόνῃ καὶ ἐν τῷ λίθῳ, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν ἀλλόφυλον καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτόν· καὶ ρομφαία οὐκ ἦν ἐν χειρὶ Δαυίδ.]
50So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
51καὶ ἔδραμε Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐπέστη ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν ρομφαίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἀφεῖλε τὴν κεφαλήν αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἶδον οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ὅτι τέθνηκεν ὁ δυνατὸς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔφυγον.
51And David ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw that their mighty man was dead, they fled.
52καὶ ἀνίστανται ἄνδρες Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα καὶ ἠλάλαξαν καὶ κατεδίωξαν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ἕως εἰσόδου Γὲθ καὶ ἕως τῆς πύλης Ἀσκάλωνος, καὶ ἔπεσον τραυματίαι τῶν ἀλλοφύλων ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τῶν πυλῶν καὶ ἕως Γὲθ καὶ ἕως Ἀκκαρών.
52And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou comest to Gai, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.
53καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν ἄνδρες Ἰσραὴλ ἐκκλίνοντες ὀπίσω τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ κατεπάτουν τὰς παρεμβολὰς αὐτῶν.
53And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their camp.
54καὶ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ τὴν κεφαλὴν τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου, καὶ ἤνεγκεν αὐτὴν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἔθηκεν ἐν τῷ σκηνώματι αὐτοῦ.
54And David took the head of the philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
55[Καὶ ὡς εἶδε Σαοὺλ τὸν Δαυὶδ ἐκπορευόμενον εἰς ἀπάντησιν τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου, εἶπε πρὸς Ἀβεννὴρ τὸν ἄρχοντα τῆς δυνάμεως· Υἱὸς τίνος ὁ νεανίσκος οὗτος; καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβεννήρ· ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, βασιλεῦ, εἰ οἶδα.
55And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host: 'Abner, whose son is this youth?' And Abner said: 'As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.'
56καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· ἐπερώτησον σύ, υἱὸς τίνος ὁ νεανίσκος οὗτος.
56And the king said: 'Inquire thou whose son the stripling is.'
57καὶ ὡς ἐπέστρεψε Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατάξαι τὸν ἀλλόφυλον, καὶ παρέλαβεν αὐτὸν Ἀβεννὴρ καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸν ἐνώπιον Σαούλ, καὶ ἡ κεφαλὴ τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ.
57And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
58καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Σαούλ· υἱὸς τίνος εἶ, παιδάριον, καὶ εἶπε Δυαίδ· υἱὸς δούλου σου Ἰεσσαὶ τοῦ Βηθλεεμείτου.]
58And Saul said to him: 'Whose son art thou, thou young man?' And David answered: 'I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.'
