Then the Philistine said,“ This day I defy the armies of Israel! Give me a man and let us fight each other.”

And the Philistine said,“ I defy the ranks of Israel this day. Give me a man, that we may fight together.”

I defy the armies of Israel today! Send me a man who will fight me!”

Then the Philistine said,“ I defy the ranks of Israel today. Send me a man so we can fight each other!”

Then the Philistine said,“ I have defied the ranks of Israel this day! Give me a man, so that we may fight together.”

He made fun of Israel. So Jonathan killed him. Jonathan was the son of David’s brother Shimeah.

In fact, I’ve killed both a lion and a bear. I’ll do the same thing to this Philistine. He isn’t even circumcised. He has dared the armies of the living God to fight him.

David said to Goliath,“ You are coming to fight against me with a sword, a spear and a javelin. But I’m coming against you in the name of the Lord who rules over all. He is the God of the armies of Israel. He’s the one you have dared to fight against.

The Israelites had been saying,“ Just look at how this man keeps daring Israel to fight him! The king will make the man who kills Goliath very wealthy. The king will also give his own daughter to be that man’s wife. The king won’t require anyone in the man’s family to pay any taxes in Israel.”David spoke to the men standing near him. He asked them,“ What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine? Goliath is bringing shame on Israel. What will be done for the one who removes it? This Philistine isn’t even circumcised. He dares the armies of the living God to fight him. Who does he think he is?”

But Sanballat, the Horonite, heard about it. So did Tobiah, the official from Ammon. Geshem, the Arab, heard about it too. All of them laughed at us. They made fun of us.“ What do you think you are doing?” they asked.“ Are you turning against the king?”

Is your arm as powerful as mine is? Can your voice thunder as mine does?Then put on glory and beauty as if they were your clothes. Also put on honor and majesty.Let loose your great anger.

Then Balaam spoke the message he had received from God. He said,“ Balak brought me from the land of Aram. The king of Moab sent for me from the mountains in the east.‘ Come,’ he said.‘ Put a curse on Jacob’s people for me. Come. Speak against Israel.’But how can I put a curse on people God hasn’t cursed? How can I speak against people the Lord hasn’t spoken against?

The Lord says,“ Do not let wise people brag about how wise they are. Do not let strong people boast about how strong they are. Do not let rich people brag about how rich they are.

If you are proud, you will be destroyed. If you are proud, you will fall.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, give praise and honor and glory to the King of heaven. Everything he does is right. All his ways are fair. He is able to bring down those who live proudly.

You have proved that I haven’t done anything wrong. You have sat on your throne and judged fairly.You have punished the nations. You have destroyed evil people. You have erased their names from your book for ever and ever.

Next to him was Eleazar. He was one of the three mighty warriors. He was the son of Dodai, the Ahohite. Eleazar was with David at Pas Dammim. That’s where Israel’s army made fun of the Philistines who were gathered there for battle. Then the Israelites pulled back.
