Page 1 / 19 (Rth 4:17–1Sa 18:14)
The neighbor women said, “A son has been born to Naomi,” and they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.
So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully on David from that day forward. Then Samuel set out and went to Ramah.
Then Saul dispatched messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.”
So Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a wineskin, and one young goat and sent them by his son David to Saul.
When David came to Saul and entered his service, Saul loved him very much, and David became his armor-bearer.
Then Saul sent word to Jesse: “Let David remain in my service, for he has found favor with me.”
Whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would pick up his lyre and play, and Saul would then be relieved, feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him.
Now David was the son of the Ephrathite from Bethlehem of Judah named Jesse. Jesse had eight sons and during Saul’s reign was already an old man.
but David kept going back and forth from Saul to tend his father’s flock in Bethlehem.
One day Jesse had told his son David, “Take this half-bushel[fn] of roasted grain along with these ten loaves of bread for your brothers and hurry to their camp.
So David got up early in the morning, left the flock with someone to keep it, loaded up, and set out as Jesse had charged him.
He arrived at the perimeter of the camp as the army was marching out to its battle formation shouting their battle cry.
David left his supplies in the care of the quartermaster and ran to the battle line. When he arrived, he asked his brothers how they were.
While he was speaking with them, suddenly the champion named Goliath, the Philistine from Gath, came forward from the Philistine battle line and shouted his usual words, which David heard.
David spoke to the men who were standing with him: “What will be done for the man who kills that Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Just who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God? ”
David’s oldest brother Eliab listened as he spoke to the men, and he became angry with him. “Why did you come down here? ” he asked. “Who did you leave those few sheep with in the wilderness? I know your arrogance and your evil heart — you came down to see the battle! ”
David said to Saul, “Don’t let anyone be discouraged by him; your servant will go and fight this Philistine! ”
But Saul replied, “You can’t go fight this Philistine. You’re just a youth, and he’s been a warrior since he was young.”
David answered Saul, “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep. Whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock,
Then David said, “The LORD who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.”
Saul said to David, “Go, and may the LORD be with you.”
Then Saul had his own military clothes put on David. He put a bronze helmet on David’s head and had him put on armor.
David strapped his sword on over the military clothes and tried to walk, but he was not used to them. “I can’t walk in these,” David said to Saul, “I’m not used to them.” So David took them off.
The Philistine came closer and closer to David, with the shield-bearer in front of him.
When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him because he was just a youth, healthy[fn] and handsome.
He said to David, “Am I a dog that you come against me with sticks? ”[fn] Then he cursed David by his gods.
“Come here,” the Philistine called to David, “and I’ll give your flesh to the birds of the sky and the wild beasts! ”
David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with a sword, spear, and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of Armies, the God of the ranks of Israel — you have defied him.
When the Philistine started forward to attack him, David ran quickly to the battle line to meet the Philistine.
David put his hand in the bag, took out a stone, slung it, and hit the Philistine on his forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown to the ground.
David defeated the Philistine with a sling and a stone. David overpowered the Philistine and killed him without having a sword.
David ran and stood over him. He grabbed the Philistine’s sword, pulled it from its sheath, and used it to kill him. Then he cut off his head. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they fled.
David took Goliath’s[fn] head and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
[fn] When Saul had seen David going out to confront the Philistine, he asked Abner the commander of the army, “Whose son is this youth, Abner? ”
“Your Majesty, as surely as you live, I don’t know,” Abner replied.
When David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the Philistine’s head still in his hand.
Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, young man? ”
“The son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem,” David answered.
When David had finished speaking with Saul, Jonathan was bound to David in close friendship,[fn] and loved him as much as he loved himself.
Then Jonathan removed the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his military tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt.
David marched out with the army and was successful in everything Saul sent him to do. Saul put him in command of the fighting men, which pleased all the people and Saul’s servants as well.
As the troops were coming back, when David was returning from killing the Philistine, the women came out from all the cities of Israel to meet King Saul, singing and dancing with tambourines, with shouts of joy, and with three-stringed instruments.
As they danced, the women sang:
Saul has killed his thousands,
but David his tens of thousands.
Saul was furious and resented this song. “They credited tens of thousands to David,” he complained, “but they only credited me with thousands. What more can he have but the kingdom? ”
The next day an evil spirit sent from God came powerfully on Saul, and he began to rave[fn] inside the palace. David was playing the lyre as usual, but Saul was holding a spear,
and he threw it, thinking, “I’ll pin David to the wall.” But David got away from him twice.
