1 Samuel 17:41 in context

  1. 39David strapped his sword on his clothing, and he tried to move; for he had not tested it. David said to Saul, “I can’t go with these; for I have not tested them.” Then David took them off.
  2. 40He took his staff in his hand, and chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag which he had. His sling was in his hand; and he came near to the Philistine.
  3. 41The Philistine walked and came near to David; and the man who bore the shield went before him.
  4. 42When the Philistine looked around, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and had a good looking face.
  5. 43The Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” The Philistine cursed David by his gods.
