1 Samuel 17:24

David Enters The Scene Of Battle

²³ And he was speaking with them. And, behold, the champion man, named Goliath, the Philistine of Gath, came up out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke according to these words. And David heard. ²⁴ And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, they ran from him and were very much afraid. ²⁵ And the men of Israel said, Have you seen this man that has come up? Surely he has come up to defy Israel. And it shall be, the king will enrich the man who kills him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.
