大卫就离开他转向别人，照先前的话而问。百姓仍照先前的话回答他。
And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
有人听见大卫所说的话，就告诉了扫罗。扫罗便打发人叫他来。
And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him.
大卫对扫罗说，人都不必因那非利士人胆怯。你的仆人要去与那非利士人战斗。
And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
扫罗对大卫说，你不能去与那非利士人战斗。因为你年纪太轻，他自幼就作战士。
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.
大卫对扫罗说，你仆人为父亲放羊，有时来了狮子，有时来了熊，从群中衔一只羊羔去。
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:
我就追赶它，击打它，将羊羔从它口中救出来。它起来要害我，我就揪着它的胡子，将它打死。
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.
你仆人曾打死狮子和熊，这未受割礼的非利士人向永生神的军队骂阵，也必像狮子和熊一般。
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.
扫罗就把自己的战衣给大卫穿上，将铜盔给他戴上，又给他穿上铠甲。
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.
今日耶和华必将你交在我手里。我必杀你，斩你的头，又将非利士军兵的尸首给空中的飞鸟，地上的野兽吃，使普天下的人都知道以色列中有神。
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.
又使这众人知道耶和华使人得胜，不是用刀用枪，因为争战的胜败全在乎耶和华。他必将你们交在我们手里。
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.
