The Philistine’s curse, and David’s answer that he comes in the name of the LORD of Armies

블레셋 사람의 저주와 만군의 여호와의 이름으로 가노라는 다윗의 대답

1 Samuel 17:41–47: the Philistine walks and comes near to David; and the man who bore the shield goes before him. When the Philistine looks around and sees David, he disdains him; the text gives the reason, “for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and had a good looking face.” The Philistine says to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” The Philistine curses David by his gods. The Philistine says to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and to the animals of the field.” Then David says to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to you in the name of the LORD of Armies, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. Today, the LORD will deliver you into my hand. I will strike you and take your head from off you. I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines today to the birds of the sky and to the wild animals of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, and that all this assembly may know that the LORD doesn’t save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hand.”
