1 Samuel 17:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ And all the Israelites when they saw the man, fled from his face, fearing him exceedingly.

²⁵ And some one of Israel said: Have you seen this man that is come up, for he is come up to defy Israel. And the man that shall slay him, the king will enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father's house free from tribute in Israel.

²⁶ And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying: What shall be given to the man that shall kill this Philistine, and shall take away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
