And three sons of Jesse, the great ones, going, went after Saul to war: and the names of his three sons which went in the war, Eliab the first-born and his second, Abinadab, and the third, Shammah. And David, he the small; and the three great ones went after Saul. And David went and turned back from Saul to feed his father's sheep at the House of Bread. And he of the rovers will draw near, the morning and the evening, and he will take a stand forty days. And Jesse will say to David his son, Take now to thy brethren an ephah of this parched grain, and this ten of bread, and run to the camp to thy brethren. And these ten cuttings of milk thou shalt bring to the chief of a thousand; and thou shalt review thy brethren for peace, and take their pledge.

And he will turn round from his side to the front of another, and will say according to this word: and the people will turn back word as the former word. And the words will be heard which David spake, and they will be announced before Saul, and he will take him. And David will say to Saul, man's heart shall not fall on account of him; thy servant will go and fight with this one of the rovers And Saul will say to David, Thou wilt not be able to go against this of the rovers to war with him, for thou a boy, and he a man of war from his youth.

And I went forth after him, and I smote him, and I delivered from his mouth: and he arose upon me and I seized upon his beard, and I struck him and killed him.

And David will say to him of the rovers, Thou comest to me with a sword and with a spear and with a shield, and I come to thee in the name of Jehovah of armies, the God of the ranks of Israel, which thou didst upbraid. This day Jehovah will deliver thee into my hand; and I smote thee and took away thy head from off thee, and I gave the carcass of the camp of the rovers this day to the birds of the heavens, and to the beasts of the earth: and all the earth shall know that there is a God to Israel. And all this assembly shall know that not with sword and with spear Jehovah will save, for to Jehovah the battle, and he gave you into our hand.

And the wounded of the rovers will fall in the way of the gates, and even to Gath, and even to Ekron.
