38. And Saul armed David with his armor, and he put a helmet of bronze upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.
39. And David girded his sword upon his armor, and he attempted to go; 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.
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 pouch; 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 bore the shield went before him.
42. And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he despised 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 you come to me with sticks? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44. And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give your flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
