1 Samuel 17:44-46

New International Reader's Version

⁴⁴ “Come over here,” he said. “I’ll feed your body to the birds and wild animals!”

⁴⁵ 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. ⁴⁶ This day the Lord will give me the victory over you. I’ll strike you down. I’ll cut your head off. This day I’ll feed the bodies of the Philistine army to the birds and wild animals. Then the whole world will know there is a God in Israel.
