1 Samual 17:1
Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were
gathered together at Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between
Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.
2 And Saul and the men of Israel
were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the
battle in array against the Philistines.
3 And the Philistines stood on a
mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side:
and there was a valley between them.
4 And there went out a champion out
of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was
six cubits and a span.
5 And he had an helmet of brass upon
his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat
was five thousand shekels of brass.
6 And he had greaves of brass upon
his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders.
7 And the staff of his spear was
like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels
of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.
8 And he stood and cried unto the
armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are 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.
9 If he be able to fight with me,
and to 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.
10 And the Philistine said, I defy
the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
11 When Saul and all Israel heard
those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
12 ¶ Now David was the son of that
Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons:
and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul.
13 And the three eldest sons of Jesse
went and followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that
went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next unto him Abinadab,
and the third Shammah.
14 And David was the youngest: and
the three eldest followed Saul.
15 But David went and returned from
Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
16 And the Philistine drew near morning
and evening, and presented himself forty days.
17 And Jesse said unto David his
son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these
ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren;
18 And carry these ten cheeses unto
the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take
their pledge.
19 Now Saul, and they, and all the
men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
20 And 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 trench, as the host was going forth
to the fight, and shouted for the battle.
21 For Israel and the Philistines
had put the battle in array, army against army.
22 And David left his carriage in
the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came
and saluted his brethren.
23 And as he talked with them, behold,
there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out
of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words:
and David heard them.
24 And all the men of Israel, when
they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
25 And the men of Israel said, Have
ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy 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.
26 And David spake to the men that
stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine,
and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised
Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
27 And the people answered him after
this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
28 And Eliab his eldest brother heard
when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David,
and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left
those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness
of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
29 And David said, What have I now
done? Is there not a cause?
30 And he turned from him toward
another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again
after the former manner.
31 ¶ And when the words were heard
which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him.
32 And David said to Saul, Let no
man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this
Philistine.
33 And 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.
34 And David said unto Saul, Thy
servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and
took a lamb out of the flock:
35 And I 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.
36 Thy servant slew both the lion
and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them,
seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
37 David said moreover, 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 be with thee.
38 And Saul armed David with his
armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him
with a coat of mail.
39 And David girded his sword upon
his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said
unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David
put them off him.
40 ¶ And he took his staff in his
hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in
a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his
hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
41 And the Philistine came on and
drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him.
42 And when the Philistine looked
about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy,
and of a fair countenance.
43 And the Philistine said unto David,
Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed
David by his gods.
44 And 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.
45 Then said David to the Philistine,
Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but
I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies
of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
46 This day will the LORD deliver
thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee;
and I will give the carcases 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.
47 And all this assembly shall know
that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD'S,
and he will give you into our hands.
48 ¶ And it came to pass, when the
Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted,
and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49 And David put his hand in his
bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in
his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his
face to the earth.
50 So 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.
51 Therefore David ran, and stood
upon 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 their champion was dead, they fled.
52 And the men of Israel and of Judah
arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the
valley, 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.
53 And the children of Israel returned
from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents.
54 And David took the head of the
Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
55 And 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.
56 And the king said, Enquire thou
whose son the stripling is.
57 And 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.
58 And Saul said to him, Whose son
art thou, thou young man? And David answered, I am the son of thy servant
Jesse the Bethlehemite.

put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they
chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
8 When thou art bidden of any
man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable
man than thou be bidden of him;
9 And he that bade thee and him
come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to
take the lowest room.
10 But when thou art bidden, go
and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he
may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in
the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
11 For whosoever
exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be
exalted.

Gal 5:18-25 But if ye be led of the Spirit,
ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are
manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred,
variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness,
revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also
told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit

Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings
of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the
glory which shall be revealed in
us.
19 For the earnest expectation of
the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject
to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same
in hope,
21 Because
the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption
into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation
groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves
also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan
within ourselves, waiting for
the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but
hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope
for?
25 But if we hope for that we see
not, then do we with patience wait for it.
26 ¶ Likewise the Spirit also helpeth
our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but
the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot
be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts
knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession
for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work
together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according
to his
purpose.
29 ¶ For whom he did foreknow, he
also did predestinate to be
conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be
the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate,
them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom
he justified, them he also glorified.
31 ¶ What shall we then say to these
things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son,
but delivered him up for us all, how
shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
