1 Samuel 17:44 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 17:44

42 And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he ^adisdained him; for he was only a youth, ^bruddy and good-looking.

43 So the Philistine ^asaid to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

44 And the Philistine ^asaid to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!”

45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. ^aBut I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have ^bdefied.

46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give ^athe carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, ^bthat all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

47 Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord ^adoes not save with sword and spear; for ^bthe battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.”

48 So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ^aran toward the army to meet the Philistine.

49 Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.
