1 Samuel 17:24-26

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁴ (Whenever they saw the man, all the men of Israel fled from him and were terrified.) ²⁵ An Israelite had said, “Have you seen this man who has come up? He keeps coming up to taunt Israel. The king will give great riches to the man who kills him. He will give his daughter to him in marriage and make his father’s house exempt from taxes in Israel.”

²⁶ David spoke to the men who stood near him. He asked, “What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the disgrace from Israel? Who is this uncircumcised Philistine who dares to defy the troops of the living God?”
