17ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Α1 KINGDOMS (Brenton-Septuagint)Reference

1Καὶ συνάγουσιν ἀλλόφυλοι τὰς παρεμβολὰς αὐτῶν εἰς πόλεμον καὶ συνάγονται εἰς Σοκχωθ τῆς Ιουδαίας καὶ παρεμβάλλουσιν ἀνὰ μέσον Σοκχωθ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Αζηκα ἐν Εφερμεμ. And the Philistines gather their armies to battle and gather themselves to Socchoth of Judaea and encamp between Socchoth and Azeca Ephermen.Goliath. 1Sm.17.1-11
2καὶ Σαουλ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες Ισραηλ συνάγονται καὶ παρεμβάλλουσιν ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι· αὐτοὶ παρατάσσονται εἰς πόλεμον ἐξ ἐναντίας ἀλλοφύλων. And Saul and the men of Israel gather together and they encamp in the valley and set the battle in array against the Philistines. 
3καὶ ἀλλόφυλοι ἵστανται ἐπὶ τοῦ ὄρους ἐνταῦθα, καὶ Ισραηλ ἵσταται ἐπὶ τοῦ ὄρους ἐνταῦθα, καὶ ὁ αὐλὼν ἀνὰ μέσον αὐτῶν. And the Philistines stand on the mountain on one side and Israel stands on the mountain on the other side and the valley was between them. 
4καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἀνὴρ δυνατὸς ἐκ τῆς παρατάξεως τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, Γολιαθ ὄνομα αὐτῷ ἐκ Γεθ, ὕψος αὐτοῦ τεσσάρων πήχεων καὶ σπιθαμῆς· And there went forth a mighty man out of the army of the Philistines Goliath by name out of Geth his height [was] four cubits and a span. 
5καὶ περικεφαλαία ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ θώρακα ἁλυσιδωτὸν αὐτὸς ἐνδεδυκώς, καὶ ὁ σταθμὸς τοῦ θώρακος αὐτοῦ πέντε χιλιάδες σίκλων χαλκοῦ καὶ σιδήρου· And [he had] a helmet upon his head and he wore a breastplate of chain armour; and the weight of his breastplate [was] five thousand shekels of brass and iron. 
6καὶ κνημῖδες χαλκαῖ ἐπάνω τῶν σκελῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀσπὶς χαλκῆ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ὤμων αὐτοῦ· And greaves of grass [were] upon his legs and a brazen target [was] between his shoulders. 
7καὶ ὁ κοντὸς τοῦ δόρατος αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ μέσακλον ὑφαινόντων, καὶ ἡ λόγχη αὐτοῦ ἑξακοσίων σίκλων σιδήρου· καὶ ὁ αἴρων τὰ ὅπλα αὐτοῦ προεπορεύετο αὐτοῦ. And the staff of his spear [was] like a weaver's beam and the spear's head [was formed] of six hundred shekels of iron; and his armour-bearer went before him. 
8καὶ ἔστη καὶ ἀνεβόησεν εἰς τὴν παράταξιν Ισραηλ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Τί ἐκπορεύεσθε παρατάξασθαι πολέμῳ ἐξ ἐναντίας ἡμῶν; οὐκ ἐγώ εἰμι ἀλλόφυλος καὶ ὑμεῖς Εβραῖοι τοῦ Σαουλ; ἐκλέξασθε ἑαυτοῖς ἄνδρα καὶ καταβήτω πρός με, And he stood and cried to the army of Israel and said to them Why are ye come forth to set yourselves in battle array against us? Am not I a Philistine and ye He brews of Saul? Choose for yourselves a man and let him come down to me. 
9καὶ ἐὰν δυνηθῇ πρὸς ἐμὲ πολεμῆσαι καὶ ἐὰν πατάξῃ με, καὶ ἐσόμεθα ὑμῖν εἰς δούλους, ἐὰν δὲ ἐγὼ δυνηθῶ καὶ πατάξω αὐτόν, ἔσεσθε ἡμῖν εἰς δούλους καὶ δουλεύσετε ἡμῖν. And if he shall be able to fight against me and shall smite me then will we be your servants: but if I should prevail and smite him ye shall be our servants and serve us. 
10καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀλλόφυλος Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ὠνείδισα τὴν παράταξιν Ισραηλ σήμερον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ· δότε μοι ἄνδρα, καὶ μονομαχήσομεν ἀμφότεροι. And the Philistine said Behold I have defied the armies of Israel this very day: give me a man and we will both of us fight in single combat. 
11καὶ ἤκουσεν Σαουλ καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου ταῦτα καὶ ἐξέστησαν καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν σφόδρα. And Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine and they were dismayed and greatly terrified. 
32Καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ πρὸς Σαουλ Μὴ δὴ συμπεσέτω ἡ καρδία τοῦ κυρίου μου ἐπ' αὐτόν· ὁ δοῦλός σου πορεύσεται καὶ πολεμήσει μετὰ τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου τούτου. And David said to Saul Let not I pray thee the heart of my lord be dejected within him: thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine. 
33καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ πρὸς Δαυιδ Οὐ μὴ δυνήσῃ πορευθῆναι πρὸς τὸν ἀλλόφυλον τοῦ πολεμεῖν μετ' αὐτοῦ, ὅτι παιδάριον εἶ σύ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἀνὴρ πολεμιστὴς ἐκ νεότητος αὐτοῦ. And Saul said to David Thou wilt not in anywise be able to go against this Philistine to fight with him for thou art a mere youth and he a man of war from his youth. 
34καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ πρὸς Σαουλ Ποιμαίνων ἦν ὁ δοῦλός σου τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ποιμνίῳ, καὶ ὅταν ἤρχετο ὁ λέων καὶ ἡ ἄρκος καὶ ἐλάμβανεν πρόβατον ἐκ τῆς ἀγέλης, And David said to Saul Thy servant was tending the flock for his father; and when a lion came and a she-bear and took a sheep out of the flock 
35καὶ ἐξεπορευόμην ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπάταξα αὐτὸν καὶ ἐξέσπασα ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰ ἐπανίστατο ἐπ' ἐμέ, καὶ ἐκράτησα τοῦ φάρυγγος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπάταξα καὶ ἐθανάτωσα αὐτόν· then I went forth after him and smote him and drew [the spoil] out of his mouth: and as he rose up against me then I caught hold of his throat and smote him 
36καὶ τὴν ἄρκον ἔτυπτεν ὁ δοῦλός σου καὶ τὸν λέοντα, καὶ ἔσται ὁ ἀλλόφυλος ὁ ἀπερίτμητος ὡς ἓν τούτων· οὐχὶ πορεύσομαι καὶ πατάξω αὐτὸν καὶ ἀφελῶ σήμερον ὄνειδος ἐξ Ισραηλ; διότι τίς ὁ ἀπερίτμητος οὗτος, ὃς ὠνείδισεν παράταξιν θεοῦ ζῶντος; Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear and the uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them: shall I not go and smite him and remove this day a reproach from Israel? For who [is] this uncircumcised one who has defied the army of the living God? 
37κύριος, ὃς ἐξείλατό με ἐκ χειρὸς τοῦ λέοντος καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς τῆς ἄρκου, αὐτὸς ἐξελεῖταί με ἐκ χειρὸς τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου τοῦ ἀπεριτμήτου τούτου. καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ πρὸς Δαυιδ Πορεύου, καὶ ἔσται κύριος μετὰ σοῦ. The Lord who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out the paw of the bear he will deliver me out of the hand of this uncircumcised Philistine. And Saul said to David Go and the Lord shall be with thee. 
38καὶ ἐνέδυσεν Σαουλ τὸν Δαυιδ μανδύαν καὶ περικεφαλαίαν χαλκῆν περὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ And Saul clothed David with a military coat and [put] his brazen helmet on his head. 
39καὶ ἔζωσεν τὸν Δαυιδ τὴν ῥομφαίαν αὐτοῦ ἐπάνω τοῦ μανδύου αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐκοπίασεν περιπατήσας ἅπαξ καὶ δίς· καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ πρὸς Σαουλ Οὐ μὴ δύνωμαι πορευθῆναι ἐν τούτοις, ὅτι οὐ πεπείραμαι. καὶ ἀφαιροῦσιν αὐτὰ ἀπ' αὐτοῦ. And he girt David with his sword over his coat: and he made trial walking [with them] once and again: and David said to Saul I shall not be able to go with these for I have not proved [them]: so they remove them from him. 
40καὶ ἔλαβεν τὴν βακτηρίαν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξελέξατο ἑαυτῷ πέντε λίθους λείους ἐκ τοῦ χειμάρρου καὶ ἔθετο αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ καδίῳ τῷ ποιμενικῷ τῷ ὄντι αὐτῷ εἰς συλλογὴν καὶ σφενδόνην αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ προσῆλθεν πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν ἀλλόφυλον. And he took his staff in his hand and he chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook and put them in the shepherd's scrip which he had for his store and his sling was in his hand; and he approached the Philistine. 
42καὶ εἶδεν Γολιαδ τὸν Δαυιδ καὶ ἠτίμασεν αὐτόν, ὅτι αὐτὸς ἦν παιδάριον καὶ αὐτὸς πυρράκης μετὰ κάλλους ὀφθαλμῶν. And Goliath saw David and despised him; for he was a lad and ruddy with a fair countenance. 
43καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀλλόφυλος πρὸς Δαυιδ Ὡσεὶ κύων ἐγώ εἰμι, ὅτι σὺ ἔρχῃ ἐπ' ἐμὲ ἐν ῥάβδῳ καὶ λίθοις; καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ Οὐχί, ἀλλ' ἢ χείρω κυνός. καὶ κατηράσατο ὁ ἀλλόφυλος τὸν Δαυιδ ἐν τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτοῦ. And the Philistine said to David Am I as a dog that thou comest against me with a staff and stones? [[and David said Nay but worse than a dog.]] And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 
44καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀλλόφυλος πρὸς Δαυιδ Δεῦρο πρός με, καὶ δώσω τὰς σάρκας σου τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τοῖς κτήνεσιν τῆς γῆς. And the Philistine said to David Come to me and I will give thy flesh to the birds of the air and to the beasts of the earth. 
45καὶ εἰπεν Δαυιδ πρὸς τὸν ἀλλόφυλον Σὺ ἔρχῃ πρός με ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καὶ ἐν δόρατι καὶ ἐν ἀσπίδι, κἀγὼ πορεύομαι πρὸς σὲ ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου σαβαωθ θεοῦ παρατάξεως Ισραηλ, ἣν ὠνείδισας σήμερον· And David said to the Philistine Thou comest to me with sword and with spear and with shield; but I come to thee in the name of the Lord God of hosts of the army of Israel which thou hast defied 
46καὶ ἀποκλείσει σε κύριος σήμερον εἰς τὴν χεῖρά μου, καὶ ἀποκτενῶ σε καὶ ἀφελῶ τὴν κεφαλήν σου ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ δώσω τὰ κῶλά σου καὶ τὰ κῶλα παρεμβολῆς ἀλλοφύλων ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τοῖς θηρίοις τῆς γῆς, καὶ γνώσεται πᾶσα ἡ γῆ ὅτι ἔστιν θεὸς ἐν Ισραηλ· this day. And the Lord shall deliver thee this day into my hand; and I will slay thee and take away thy head from off thee and will give thy limbs and the limbs of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky and to the wild beasts of the  
47καὶ γνώσεται πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία αὕτη ὅτι οὐκ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καὶ δόρατι σῴζει κύριος, ὅτι τοῦ κυρίου ὁ πόλεμος, καὶ παραδώσει κύριος ὑμᾶς εἰς χεῖρας ἡμῶν. And all this assembly shall know that the Lord delivers not by sword or spear for the battle [is] the Lord's and the Lord will deliver you into our hands. 
48καὶ ἀνέστη ὁ ἀλλόφυλος καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς συνάντησιν Δαυιδ. And the Philistine arose and went to meet David. 
49καὶ ἐξέτεινεν Δαυιδ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ κάδιον καὶ ἔλαβεν ἐκεῖθεν λίθον ἕνα καὶ ἐσφενδόνησεν καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὸν ἀλλόφυλον ἐπὶ τὸ μέτωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ διέδυ ὁ λίθος διὰ τῆς περικεφαλαίας εἰς τὸ μέτωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν. And David stretched out his hand to his scrip and took thence a stone and slang it and smote the Philistine on his forehead and the stone penetrated through the helmet into his forehead 
51καὶ ἔδραμεν Δαυιδ καὶ ἐπέστη ἐπ' αὐτὸν καὶ ἔλαβεν τὴν ῥομφαίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἀφεῖλεν τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἶδον οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ὅτι τέθνηκεν ὁ δυνατὸς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔφυγον. And David ran and stood upon him and took his sword and slew him and cut off his head: and the Philistines saw that their champion was dead 
52καὶ ἀνίστανται ἄνδρες Ισραηλ καὶ Ιουδα καὶ ἠλάλαξαν καὶ κατεδίωξαν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ἕως εἰσόδου Γεθ καὶ ἕως τῆς πύλης Ἀσκαλῶνος, καὶ ἔπεσαν τραυματίαι τῶν ἀλλοφύλων ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τῶν πυλῶν καὶ ἕως Γεθ καὶ ἕως Ακκαρων. And the men of Israel and Juda arose and shouted and pursued them as far as the entrance to Geth and as far as the gate of Ascalon: and the slain men of the Philistines fell in the way of the gates both to Geth and to Accaron. 
53καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν ἄνδρες Ισραηλ ἐκκλίνοντες ὀπίσω τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ κατεπάτουν τὰς παρεμβολὰς αὐτῶν. And the men of Israel returned from pursuing after the Philistines and they destroyed their camp. 
54καὶ ἔλαβεν Δαυιδ τὴν κεφαλὴν τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου καὶ ἤνεγκεν αὐτὴν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἔθηκεν ἐν τῷ σκηνώματι αὐτοῦ. And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.

Notes:The Old Testament in Greek is Rahlf's LXX available in Word format at the Tyndale website, adapted to database format.
The alternative readings of the LXX - Judges (Alexandrinus), Daniel, Susanna & Bel (LXX received text), and Tobit (Sinaiticus [not printed in Swete]) as separate book references so that they can be viewed as an alternative text in parallel with the primary text.
(I have reversed the Swete presentation for Daniel, Susanna, Bel by listing in the later Theodotion LXX text as the main text.)
The LXX cross references to the Hebrew Bible have been extensively revised using those set out in Swete's 'Old Testament in Greek' publications between 1894 and 1909, amended in part to agree with verses as printed in the Biblia Hebraica 1937 publication).
Some verse cross references in Swete's had to be amended to agree with the BHS verse numbering, and there may well be some mismatches that I haven't yet picked up on. (If you find any errors please e-mail me.)
Hebrew Bible has been adapted from the BHS in Word format at Tyndale.
The Septuagint in English ( translated by Sir Lancelot CL Brenton) - is used here only for the books of the Hebrew Bible.
The Revised Standard Version: This generally follows the Hebrew Bible for the canonical OT so I have included the RSV Aprocrypha for the Greek books not covered by Brenton.
Ecclesiasticus - Sirach Chs.30-36: The text of these chapters from 30.24 to 36.16, is disordered.
I have followed Swete's verse numbering for the greek text.
Also, the RSV verse numbering differs from the NRSV.
The NRSV appears to have followed Swete's numbering here, so I have re-ordered the RSV to agree with both the NRSV & Swete for these chapters.
