1 Samuel 17Wycliffe Bible (WYC) 17 Soothly the Philistines gathered together their companies into battle, and came together in Shochoh of Judah, and they setted tents betwixt Shochoh and Azekah, in the coasts of Dammim (in Ephesdammim). 2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and came into the valley of Terebinth, and they dressed (the) battle array to fight against [the] Philistines. (And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and came into the Elah Valley, and they directed the battle array to fight against the Philistines.) 3 And the Philistines stood above the hill on this part, and Israel stood on the hill on the tother part of the valley, that was betwixt them. (And the Philistines stood on a hill on one side, and Israel stood on a hill on the other side, and the valley was between them.) 4 And a man in the midst, that is, a strong man, and hardy, that goeth before the host, and is ready to fight against one of the enemies in singular battle, (that is, man-to-man,) went out of the Philistines’ tents, Goliath by name, of Gath, of six cubits high and a span; (And a champion went out from the Philistines’ camp, whose name was Goliath, and was from Gath, and he was six cubits and a span in height;) 5 and a brazen basinet on his head; and he was clothed with a mailed habergeon; and the weight of his habergeon was five thousand shekels of brass; (and he had a bronze helmet on his head; and was clothed with a breastplate of mail; and the weight of his breastplate was equal to five thousand brass shekels;) 6 and he had on his thighs brazen boots, and a brazen shield covered his shoulders. (and he wore bronze boots up to his thighs, and a bronze shield covered his shoulders.) 7 Forsooth the shaft of his spear was as the beam of webs (And his spear shaft was like a weaver’s beam); and the iron of his spear weighed six hundred shekels of iron; and his squire went before him. 8 And he stood, and cried (out) against the companies of (the) armed men of Israel, and said to them, Why came ye ready to (do) battle? Whether I am not a Philistine, and ye be the servants of Saul? Choose ye a man of you, and come he down to a singular battle, (that is, man-to-man); 9 if he may fight with me, and slay me, we shall be your servants; forsooth if I have the mastery, and slay him, ye shall be bond (ye shall be our bondsmen, or our slaves), and serve us. 10 And the Philistine said, I have said shame today to the companies of Israel; give ye [to me] a man, and begin he singular battle with me. (And the Philistine said, I have shamed Israel’s companies this day; now give ye to me a man, and let him fight with me man-to-man.) 11 Soothly Saul and all men of Israel heard such words of the Philistine, and they were astonished, and dreaded greatly (and were greatly afraid). 12 Forsooth David was the son of a man of Ephrath, of whom it is said before, of Bethlehem of Judah, to whom the name was Jesse, and he had eight sons; and in the days of Saul, Jesse was an old man, and of great age among men. (And David was the son of a man of Ephrath, of whom it was spoken of before, of Bethlehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse, and he had eight sons; and Jesse was an old man in the days of Saul, and of great age among men.) 13 And the three eldest sons of Jesse went after Saul into battle; and the names of his three sons, that went to battle (who went to battle), were Eliab, the first begotten, and the second, Abinadab, and the third, Shammah. 14 And David was the youngest. Then while the three eldest sons followed Saul, 15 David went, and turned again from Saul, that he should keep the flock of his father in Bethlehem. (David returned home from Saul, so that he could care for his father’s flock in Bethlehem.) 16 Forsooth the Philistine came forth in the morrowtide, and [at] eventide; and stood by forty days. [Forsooth the Philistine came forth early, and at even, standing (and) reproving the children of Israel (for) forty days.] 17 And Jesse said to David his son, Take thou to thy brethren meat made of meal, the measure of ephah, and these ten loaves, and run thou in to the tents to thy brethren; (And Jesse said to his son David, Take thou to thy brothers this meal of roasted grain, an ephah in measure, and these ten loaves, and run thou to thy brothers’ camp;) 18 and thou shalt bare to the tribune these ten small cheeses; and thou shalt visit thy brethren, whether they do rightly (and see if all is well), and learn thou, with which men they be ordained. 19 Forsooth Saul, and they, and all the sons of Israel in the valley of Terebinth fought against the Philistines. (Now Saul, and David’s brothers, and all the Israelites were in the Elah Valley fighting against the Philistines.) 20 And so David rose (up) early, and he betook the flock to a keeper, and he went charged, as Jesse commanded to him; and he came to the place of Magal, and to the host, the which host went out to the fight, and it cried [out] in the fighting (and he came to the place of the circle of the camp, and to the army, who were going out to the battle, and were shouting out the war-cry). 21 For Israel had ordained (the) battle array; and even against them, the Philistines were ready also (and opposite them, the Philistines were also ready). 22 Then David left the vessels, that he had brought, under the hand of a keeper at the fardels, and he ran to the place of [the] battle, and he asked, if all things were done rightly with his brethren (and he asked his brothers if all was well). 23 And when he spake yet to them, that bastard appeared, Goliath by name, the Philistine of Gath, and he went up from the tents of the Philistines; and while he spake these same words, David heard. (And while he spoke to them, that champion appeared, Goliath by name, the Philistine of Gath, and he went up from the Philistines’ camp; and when he spoke the same words as before, then David heard them.) 24 And when all the men of Israel had seen the man, they fled from his sight, and dreaded him greatly (and were greatly afraid of him). 25 And each man of Israel said to (the) other, Whether thou hast seen this man that hath gone up? forsooth he went up to say shame, or reproof, to Israel; therefore the king shall make rich with great riches the man that slayeth that Philistine; and the king shall give his daughter to that man, and shall make the house of his father without (having to pay) tribute in Israel (and he shall let his father’s family be exempt from paying any taxes in Israel). 26 And David spake to the men that stood with him, and said, What shall be given to the man that slayeth this Philistine, and doeth away shame from Israel? for who is this Philistine uncircumcised, that despiseth the battle arrays of God living? (for who is this uncircumcised Philistine who despiseth the battle arrays of the living God?) 27 Forsooth the people told to him the same word, and said, These things shall be given to the man that slayeth him. 28 And when Eliab, his more brother/the elder brother of David, had heard this, while he spake with other men, he was wroth against David, and said, Why camest thou hither, and why hast thou left those few sheep in desert, (and why hast thou left those few sheep back in the wilderness)? I know thy pride, and the waywardness of thine heart; for thou camest down to see the battle. 29 And David said, What have I done? Whether it is not but a word? (Did I not just ask a question?) 30 And David went thence a little from him to another man; and David said the same word, and the people answered to him the word as they did before (and David asked the same question, and the people gave him the same answer). 31 And the words were heard, that David spake, and they were told before Saul. And when David was brought to Saul, 32 David spake to him thus, The heart of any man fall not down in him, for I thy servant shall go, and fight against the Philistine. (David spoke thus to him, Let not any man’s heart fall down because of that man, for I, thy servant, shall go, and fight against the Philistine.) 33 And Saul said to David, Thou mayest not against-stand this Philistine, neither fight against him, for thou art a child (for thou art but a boy, that is, a young man); forsooth this man is a warrior from his young waxing age. 34 And David said to Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s flock, and (when) a lion came, also a bear/either a bear, and took away a ram from the midst of the flock; 35 I pursued, and killed them, and I ravished it from their mouth; and they rose against me, and I took their nether jowl, and I strangled, and killed them. (I pursued him, and killed him, and I delivered the ram out of his mouth; and when he rose up against me, I took his lower jaw, and I strangled him, and killed him dead.) 36 For I thy servant killed both the lion and the bear; therefore and this Philistine uncircumcised shall be as one of them. Now I shall go, and I shall do away the shame/the reproof of the people; for who is this Philistine uncircumcised, that was hardy to curse the host of God living? (For I thy servant, killed both the lion and the bear; and so this uncircumcised Philistine shall be like one of them. And now I shall go, and I shall do away the people’s shame, or their reproof; for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, who was fool-hardy enough to curse the army of the living God?) 37 And again David said, The Lord that delivered me from the mouth of the lion, and from the hand, that is, (the) power, of the bear, he shall deliver me from the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go thou, and the Lord be with thee. 38 And Saul clothed David with his clothes, and he set a brazen basinet on his head, and clothed him with an habergeon. 39 Therefore David was girded with his sword on his cloak, and began to assay if he might go armed; for he had not [the] custom. And David said to Saul, I may not go thus, for I have not the uses of it. And David put away (all) those [things], 40 and he took his staff, that he had ever[more] in his hands. And he chose to him five full clear round stones, that is, hard, plain, and round, of the strand (And he chose out of the stream for himself five hard, round, plain stones); and he put those into his shepherd’s script, that he had with him; and he took a sling in his hand, and he went forth against the Philistine. 41 Soothly the Philistine went, going and nighing against David; and his squire went before him. (And the Philistine came forth toward David; and his squire went before him.) 42 And when the Philistine had beheld David, and saw him, he despised David; forsooth David was a young waxing man, ruddy, and fair in sight. 43 And the Philistine said to David, Whether I am a dog, for thou comest to me with a staff? And the Philistine cursed David in his gods; (And the Philistine said to David, Am I but a dog, that thou comest to me with a staff? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods;) 44 and he said to David, Come thou to me, and I shall give thy flesh to the fowls of the air, and to [the] beasts of the earth. 45 And David said to Goliath, Thou comest to me with a sword and (a) spear, and (a) shield; but I come to thee in (the) name of the Lord of hosts, (the) God of the companies of Israel, to whom thou hast said reproof today. 46 And the Lord shall give thee in(to) mine hand, and I shall slay thee, and I shall take thine head from thee; and today I shall give the dead bodies of the tents of Philistines to the fowls of (the) heaven(s), and to the beasts of the earth (and today I shall give the dead bodies of the Philistine’s host, or army, to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth); (so) that all the earth (shall) know, that the Lord God is in Israel, 47 and that all this church know, that the Lord saveth not in sword neither in spear; for the battle is his, and he shall betake you into our hands. (and so that all this congregation shall know, that the Lord saveth not by sword or by spear; for the battle is his, and he shall deliver you into our hands.) 48 Therefore when the Philistine had risen (up), and came, and nighed against David (and came toward David), David hasted, and ran to (the) battle against the Philistine. 49 And David put his hand in his scrip, and he took out a stone, and he casted it with his sling, and led [it] about, and smote the Philistine in the forehead; and the stone was fastened in his forehead, and he felled down into his face on the earth. (And David put his hand into his bag, and he took out a stone, and he led it about, and threw it with his sling, and hit the Philistine in the forehead; and the stone stuck in his forehead, and he fell down on his face on the ground.) 50 And David had the mastery against the Philistine in a sling and a stone, and he killed the Philistine smitten. And when David had no sword in his hand, (And so David had the mastery against the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and he struck down the Philistine, and killed him. And when David had no sword in his hand,) 51 he ran, and stood on the Philistine, and took (hold of) his sword; and David drew out the sword of his sheath, and killed him, and cut off his head (and David drew the sword out of its sheath, and killed him, and cut off his head). And the Philistines saw, that the strongest of them was dead, and they fled. 52 And the sons of Israel and of Judah rose up together, and cried [out], and pursued the Philistines, till the time they came into the valley, and unto the gate(s) of Ekron. And the wounded men of the Philistines fell down in the way of Shaaraim, and unto Gath, and unto Ekron (And the wounded men of the Philistines fell down on the way to Shaaraim, and unto Gath, and unto Ekron). 53 And the sons of Israel turned again, after that they had pursued the Philistines, and they assailed their tents. (And the Israelites returned, after that they had pursued the Philistines, and they looted their camp.) 54 Forsooth David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it into Jerusalem; soothly he putted his armours in the tabernacle of the Lord (but he put Goliath’s arms, or his weapons, in his own tent). 55 Forsooth in that time in which Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, [the] prince of his chivalry, Abner, of what generation is this young man? And Abner said, King, thy soul liveth, I know not. (Now at the time when Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the leader of his cavalry, or his army, Abner, whose son is this young man? And Abner said, O king, as thy soul liveth, I do not know.) 56 And the king said, Ask thou, whose son this boy is. 57 And when David had come again, when the Philistine was slain, Abner took David, and brought him in, having in the hand the head of the Philistine, before Saul. (And when David had come back, after the Philistine was killed, Abner took David, and brought him in before Saul, with the head of the Philistine still in his hand.) 58 And Saul said to him, Of what generation art thou, young man? And David said, I am the son of thy servant, Jesse of Bethlehem.

1 शमूएल 17Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) गोल्यतको इस्राएली माथि चुनौती 17 पलिश्तीहरूले आफ्ना सैनिकहरूलाई युद्धको निम्ति भेला गराए। तिनीहरू यहूदा स्थित सोकोहमा भेला भए। तिनीहरूको छाउनी सोकोह र अजेकाको बीचमा एपेसदम्मीम नाउँका शहरमा थियो। 2 शाऊल र इस्राएली सैनिकहरू पनि एक ठाउँमा भेला भए। तिनीहरूको छाउनी एला बेंसीमा थियो। शाऊलका सैनिकहरूले पंक्ति बाँधे पलिश्तीहरूसित युद्ध गर्न तयार थिए। 3 पलिश्तीहरू एउटा पहाड माथि थिए, र इस्राएलीहरू अर्को पहाड माथि थिए। दुवै पक्षका बीचमा बेंसी थियो। 4 पलिश्तीहरूको गोल्यात नाउँ भएको एउटा वीर योद्धा थियो। गोल्यात गात निवासी थियो। गोल्यात झण्डै नौ फीट अग्लो थियो। गोल्यत पलिश्तीहरूका छाउनीबाट बाहिरियो। 5 शिरमा काँसाको टोपी लगाएको थियो। शरीरमा माछाको कत्ला जस्तै कवच कोट लगाएको थियो। त्यो रक्षा कवच काँसाको नै थियो यसको ओजन 5,000 शेकेलको थियो। 6 गोल्यतले खुट्टातिर पनि काँसाकै कवच लगाएको थियो। काँसाकै भाला पिठ्यूँमा बोकेको। 7 भालाको लट्टी जुलाहाको लुगा बुन्ने डण्डा जत्रो थियो। भालाको ओजन 600 शेकेलको थियो। गोल्यतको हात-हतियार बोक्ने तिनको अघि-अघि हिँड्थ्यो। 8 प्रत्येक दिन गोल्यत बाहिर निस्कन्थ्यो र इस्राएली सैनिकहरूलाई चुनौती दिन्थ्यो। उसको चुनौति थियो, “किन तिमीहरूले युद्धको निम्ति पंक्ति कसेको? तिमीहरू शाऊलका नोकर हौ म त पलिश्ती हुँ। एउटा मानिस छानेर मेरो विरूद्धमा लडनलाई पठाऊ। 9 यदि त्यस मानिसले मलाई मार्यो भने तब हामी सबै पलिश्तीहरू तिमीहरूका दास बन्नेछौ। तर यदि मैले त्यस मानिसलाई मारे भने मैले जितेको हुनेछ र तिमीहरू हाम्रो दास हुनेछौ। तिमीहरूले हाम्रा सेवा गर्नुपर्छ।” 10 पलिश्तीले यसो पनि भन्यो, “आज म इस्राएली सेनाहरूलाई गिल्ला गर्छु। एउटा मानिस पठाइदेऊ ताकि म त्यससित लड्न सकुँ।” 11 शाऊल र इस्राएली सैनिकहरूले पलिश्तीले भनेको यी सब सुन्थे र साह्रै डराउँथे। दाऊद रणभूमिमा जान्छन् 12 दाऊद यिशैका छोरा थिए। यिशै इफ्रातीका छोरा थिए जो बेतलेहेमको, यहूदाका थिए। यिशैका आठजना छोराहरू थिए। शाऊलका समयमा यिशै बूढा भइसकेका थिए। 13 यिशैका जेठा, माहिला र साहिंला छोराहरू शाऊलसित रणभूमिमा गएका थिए। जेठा छोराको नाउँ एलीआब थियो। माहिला छोराको नाउँ अबीनादाब र साँहिला छोराको नाउँ शम्मा थियो। 14 दाऊद चाहिं कान्छो छोरा थिए। जेठा, माहिला र साँहिला चाहिं शाऊलको सेनामा थिए। 15 कान्छा छोरा दाऊद शाऊलको छाउनी र बेतलेहेममा आफ्ना पिताका भेंडाहरू हेरचाह गर्न आउने जानेगर्थे। 16 त्यो पलिश्ती गोल्यत प्रत्येक दिन बिहानै बेलुकी इस्राएलीहरूका छाउनीमा आएर ठट्टा गर्थ्यो। 40 दिनसम्म त्यसले सधैँ त्यस्तै गर्यो। 17 एक दिन यिशैले दाऊदलाई भने, “यस फुर्लुङमा चार पाथी (एक एपा) चिउरा र दशवटा रोटी छन् तिम्रा दाज्यूहरूलाई छाउनीमा लगि देऊ। 18 यो 10 टुक्रा पनीर पनि लिए जाऊ। तिम्रा दाज्यूहरूको 1,000 सेनाको समूहलाई आदेश गर्ने अधिकारीलाई देऊ। दाज्यूहरूले के गर्दै छन् हेर। दाज्यूहरू ठीक-ठाक नै छन् भन्ने प्रमाण पनि लिएर आउनु। 19 तिम्रो दाज्यूहरू र सबै इस्राएली सैनिकहरू शाऊलसित एला बेंसीमा छन्। तिनीहरू त्यहाँ पलिश्तीहरूसँग लड्दैछन्।” 20 बिहानै दाऊदले अर्को एउटा गोठालोलाई भेंडाहरू जिम्मा लगायो। दाऊदले भोजन लियो र यिशैले भने अनुसार हिंड्यो। दाऊदले गाडा सोझै छाउनीमा लिएर गयो। सैनिकहरू युद्ध पंक्तिमा गएका थिए अनि युद्ध गर्न लागे झैं हल्ला गरिरहेका थिए। 21 इस्राएली र पलिश्ती दुवैतिरका सैनिकहरू युद्ध गर्न तयार रहे। 22 दाऊदले भोजन र सामानहरू भण्डारेको हातमा सुम्पियो र इस्राएली सैनिकहरू भए तिर अगाडिको पंक्तिमा दगुर्यो अनि आफ्नो दाजूहरूको विषयमा सोध्यो। 23 जस्तो दाऊदले आफ्ना दाज्यूहरूसँग कुरा गरेको बेला त्यो श्रेष्ठ योद्धा पलिश्ती गोल्यत पलिश्ती सैनिकबाट निस्केर आयो। गोल्यतले सधैँ झैं इस्राएलीलाई गाली दिन थाल्यो। दाऊदले पनि गोल्यातले भनेको कुरा सुन्यो। 24 इस्राएली सैनिकहरू त गोल्यतलाई देखे पछि भाग्न थाले। सबै नै भयभित थिए। 25 एकजना इस्राएलीले भने, “त्यसलाई देख्यौ त्यसले के गरिरहेछ राम्ररी हेर? त्यो गोल्यत घरि-घरि आएर इस्राएलीहरूलाई यसरी नै गाली गर्छ। जसले यसलाई मार्छ त्यो धेरै धनी हुनेछ। राजा शाऊलले धेरै सम्पत्ति दिनुहुनेछ। शाऊलले उसकी छोरी पनि विवाह गर्न दिनेछन् जसले त्यसलाई मार्न सक्छ। शाऊलले उसको परिवारलाई इस्राएलमा स्वतन्त्र बनाउनेछन्।” 26 दाऊदले छेवैका मानिसलाई सोध्यो, “त्यसले के भन्यो? यदि कसैले यो पलिश्तीलाई मार्छ अनि इस्राएलको इज्जत बचाउँछ भने एउटा विदेशी मात्र त हो, उसले के इनाम पाउनेछ? यो गोल्यत के हो र? गोल्यत एकजना पलिश्ती भन्दा बढी केही होइन। त्यसले यो के सोचिरहेछ? उसले जीवित परमेश्वरका सैनिकहरूलाई धम्काउन सक्छ।” 27 यसैले इस्राएलीहरूले गोल्यतलाई मार्नेको इनामबारे दाऊदलाई बताउँछन्। 28 दाऊदका जेठा दाज्यू एलीआबले दाऊद सैनिकहरूसित बात गर्दै गरेको सुने। एलीआब दाऊदसँग रिसाउँछ। एलीआबले दाऊदलाई भग्ने, “तँ यहाँ किन आइस्? भेंडाहरू मरुभूमिमा कसलाई छोडेर आइस्? तँ यहाँ आउनुको कारण मैले जाने। तँलाई जे गर्न पठाइएको हो त्यो गर्न तँ चाहँदैनस्। तँ यहाँ खालि युद्ध हेर्नलाई मात्र आउन चाहन्थिस्।” 29 दाऊदले भन्यो, “मैले त्यस्तो के गरें र? मैले कुनै नराम्रो काम गरिनँ म खालि कुरा गर्दै थिएँ।” 30 दाऊद चारैतिर दौडिएर अरू सेनाहरूसित त्यही प्रश्नहरू सोध्न थाल्यो। तिनीहरूले पनि दाऊदलाई त्यही पहिले कै जस्तो उत्तर दिए। 31 केही मानिसहरूले दाऊदलाई कुरा गर्दै गरेको सुने। तिनीहरूले दाऊदलाई शाऊल कहाँ पुर्याएर दाऊदले गरेको कुरा सबैलाई सुनाए। 32 दाऊदले शाऊललाई भन्यो, “त्यस पलिश्ती गोल्यतको कारण तपाईं हतास नहुनुहोस्। म तपाईंको सेवक हुँ। त्यस पलिश्तीसँग म लड्ने छु।” 33 शाऊलले भने, “तिमी गएर त्यस पलिश्तीसँग लड्न सक्ने छैनौ। तिमी सैनिक पनि त होइनौ। तिमी सानै छौ तर गोल्यत सानै देखि युद्धभूमिमा लड्दै आएको हो।” 34 तर दाऊदले शाऊललाई फेरि भन्यो, “म, तपाईंको सेवक हुँ र मेरो पिताको भेंडा पनि चराउने गर्छु। भेंडाका बथानबाट सिंह र भालू आएर भेंडा लैजान्थे। 35 म त्यस्ता जंगली पशुहरूलाई खेद्दै जान्थे र तिनीहरूका मुखबाट भेंडा खोसेर ल्याउँथे। यदि जंगली जन्तुले मलाई आक्रमण गरे त्यसको मुख मुनिको भुत्ला समात्थें र त्यसलाई हिर्काउथें। 36 मैले सिंह र भालू मारेको छु। म त्यस विदेशी गोल्यतलाई त्यसरी नै मार्नेछु। गोल्यत मर्नु नै पर्छ किनकि त्यसले जीवित परमेश्वरका सेनाहरूको ठट्टा गरेको छ। 37 परमप्रभुले मलाई सिंह र भालूहरूबाट बचाउनु भएको छ। परमप्रभुले यी पलिश्ती गोल्यतबाट पनि बचाउनु हुनेछ।” शाऊलले दाऊदलाई भने, “ठीक छ जाऊ? परमप्रभु तिम्रो साथमा रहुन्।” 38 शाऊलले दाऊदलाई आफ्नै पोशाक पहिराइ दिए। शाऊलले काँसाको टोपी दाऊदको शिरमा अनि आफ्नो हातहतियर शरीरमा लगाइ दिए। 39 दाऊदले तरवार भिरेर यताउता हिँड्ने चेष्टा गर्यो। यसरी शाऊलको पोशाकले दाऊदलाई साह्रै असजिलो बनायो। यस्तो पोशाकको अभ्यास दाऊदलाई थिएन। दाऊदले शाऊललाई भन्यो, “म यसरी लड्न सक्दिनँ मैले तिनीहरूको प्रयोग गरेको छैन।” यसर्थ दाऊदले सबै फूकाले। 40 दाऊदले हातमा एउटा टेक्ने लौरो लियो र खोलाबाट चिल्लो पाँचवटा ढुङ्गा टिप्यो। गोठालाको झोलाभित्रको थैलीमा उक्त पाँचवटा ढुङ्गा हाल्यो र घुँयेत्रो हातमा बोक्यो। त्यसपछि त्यो पलिश्ती गोल्यतलाई हाँक दिन बढ्यो। दाऊदले गोल्यतलाई मार्छन् 41 पलिश्ती गोल्यत विस्तारै दाऊदकहाँ आयो। गोल्यतको सहायक अघि-अघि ढाल बोकेर हिंड्दै थियो। 42 गोल्यतले दाऊदलाई हेर्यो र हाँस्यो। गोल्यतले सोच्यो यो सैनिक होइन, खालि सुन्दर र रातोवर्णको केटो हो। 43 गोल्यतले दाऊदलाई भन्यो, “यो लौरो केको निम्ति हो? कुकुरलाई जस्तै मलाई खेद्न चाहन्छौ?” अनि गोल्यतले आफ्ना देवताहरूको नाउँ उच्चारण गरेर दाऊदलाई सराप्न थाल्यो। 44 गोल्यतले दाऊदलाई भन्यो, “यता आइज, म तेरो मासु चराहरू र जंगली जनावरहरूलाई खुवाउँनेछु।” 45 दाऊदले पलिश्ती गोल्यतलाई भन्यो, “तँ मकहाँ तरवार, बर्छा र भाला प्रयोग गर्न आइस्। तर म तँ कहाँ इस्राएलका सेनाहरूका परमेश्वर सर्वशक्तिमान परमप्रभुका नाउँ मात्र लिएर आएको छु। तैंले उहाँको विरूद्धमा नराम्रो वचन बोलीस्। 46 आज परमप्रभुले मलाई तँमाथि विजय दिलाउनु हुन्छ! म तँलाई मार्छु। आज तेरो टाउको काटेर चरा र जंगली जनावरहरूलाई खुवाउँछु। हामी अन्य पलिश्तीहरूलाई पनि यसै गर्छौं। त्यसपछि संसारले नै बुझ्नेछ इस्राएलमा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ भनेर। 47 यहाँ जम्मा भएका सबै मानिसहरूले बुझ्ने छन् कि परमप्रभुलाई आफ्ना मानिसहरूलाई बचाउँनका निम्ति तरवार र भाला चांहिदैन भनेर। युद्ध परमप्रभुको हो अनि तिमी पलिश्तीहरूलाई हराउनमा परमप्रभुले हामीलाई सहायता गर्नुहुन्छ।” 48 पलिश्ती गोल्यत दाऊदलाई आक्रमण गर्न सुरियो। र बिस्तारै दाऊद अघि बढ्न थाल्यो। त्यत्ति नै बेला दाऊद दौडिएर लड्न चाँडै अघि सर्यो। 49 दाऊदले आफ्नो झोलाबाट एउटा ढुङ्गा निकाल्यो र घुँयेत्रोमा राखेर मच्चायो। घुँयेत्रोको ढुङ्गा गएर गोल्यतको आँखा बिच निधारमा लाग्यो। गोल्यत घोप्टो परेर भूईंमा लड्यो। 50 यसरी दाऊदले पलिश्तीलाई घुँयेत्रोको ढुङ्गाले हिर्काएर हरायो। उसले ढुङ्गाले हिर्कायो अनि पलिश्ती गोल्यतलाई मार्यो। दाऊदसँग तरवार थिएन। 51 यसर्थ ऊ दौडिएर पलिश्तीको छेउमा गयो। त्यसपछि दाऊदले गोल्यतकै म्यानबाट तरवार झिकेर गोल्यतको टाउको छिनायो। यसरी दाऊदले गोल्यतलाई मार्यो। जब अरू पलिश्तीले उनीहरूको वीर नै मरेको देखे अनि डरले भाग्न थाले। 52 इस्राएल र यहूदाका सैनिकहरूले जयघोषणा गर्दै दगुर्दै पलिश्तीहरूलाई खेद्न थाले। इस्राएलीहरूले पलिश्तीहरूलाई खेद्दै-खेद्दै गातको सिमाना र एक्रोनको ढोकासम्म पुर्याए र धेरै संख्यामा पलिश्तीहरू मारे। पलिश्तीहरूको लाश गात र एक्रोनको शारेमसम्म सडकभरी छरपष्ट थियो। 53 पलिश्तीहरूलाई खेद्दै सिमाना कटाए पछि इस्राएलीहरू फर्केर पलिश्तीहरूका छाउनीमा पसे र त्यहाँ धेरै सामानहरू फेला पारे। 54 दाऊदले पलिश्तीको टाउको यरूशलेममा नै पुर्यायो। पलिश्तीको हात-हतियार पनि आफ्नै पालमा राख्यो। शाऊल दाऊदसँग डराउन थाल्छन् 55 शाऊलले दाऊदलाई गोल्यतसँग लड्न गएको देखेका थिए। शाऊलले सेनाका सेनापति अबनेरसँग सोधे, “अबनेर, त्यस केटोको बाबु चाहिं को हुन्?” अबनेरले भने, “मेरो राजा, शपथ लिएर भन्दैछु, मलाई थाहा छैन।” 56 राजा शाऊले भने, “त्यसको बाबुको चाहिंको रहेछ खोजी गर।” 57 जब दाऊद गोल्यतलाई मारेर फर्के, अबनेरले उसलाई शाऊल कहाँ लग्यो। दाऊदको हातमा अझै पनि त्यस पलिश्तीको टाउको झुण्डिरहेको थियो। 58 शाऊलले उसलाई सोधे, “युवक, तिम्रो बाबु को हुन्?” दाऊदले जवाफ दिए, “म तपाईं कै सेवक बेतलेहेमका यिशैको छोरा हुँ।”
