17 1Now the Philistines gathered their armies for battle; and they were gathered at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Socoh and Aze'kah, in E'phes-dam'mim.Goliath. 1Sm.17.1-11וַיַּאַסְפוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים אֶת־מַחֲנֵיהֶם לַמִּלְחָמָה וַיֵּאָסְפוּ שֹׂכֹה אֲשֶׁר לִיהוּדָה וַיַּחֲנוּ בֵּין־שֹׂוכֹה וּבֵין־עֲזֵקָה בְּאֶפֶס דַּמִּים׃
2And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered, and encamped in the valley of Elah, and drew up in line of battle against the Philistines. וְשָׁאוּל וְאִישׁ־יִשְׂרָאֵל נֶאֶסְפוּ וַיַּחֲנוּ בְּעֵמֶק הָאֵלָה וַיַּעַרְכוּ מִלְחָמָה לִקְרַאת פְּלִשְׁתִּים׃
3And the Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side, with a valley between them. וּפְלִשְׁתִּים עֹמְדִים אֶל־הָהָר מִזֶּה וְיִשְׂרָאֵל עֹמְדִים אֶל־הָהָר מִזֶּה וְהַגַּיְא בֵּינֵיהֶם׃
4And there came out from the camp of the Philistines a champion named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. וַיֵּצֵא אִישׁ־הַבֵּנַיִם מִמַּחֲנֹות פְּלִשְׁתִּים גָּלְיָת שְׁמֹו מִגַּת גָּבְהֹו שֵׁשׁ אַמֹּות וָזָרֶת׃
5He had a helmet of bronze on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze. וְכֹובַע נְחֹשֶׁת עַל־רֹאשֹׁו וְשִׁרְיֹון קַשְׂקַשִּׂים הוּא לָבוּשׁ וּמִשְׁקַל הַשִּׁרְיֹון חֲמֵשֶׁת־אֲלָפִים שְׁקָלִים נְחֹשֶׁת׃
6And he had greaves of bronze upon his legs, and a javelin of bronze slung between his shoulders. וּמִצְחַת נְחֹשֶׁת עַל־רַגְלָיו וְכִידֹון נְחֹשֶׁת בֵּין כְּתֵפָיו׃
7And the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron; and his shield-bearer went before him. כ= וְחָץ ק= וְעֵץ חֲנִיתֹו כִּמְנֹור אֹרְגִים וְלַהֶבֶת חֲנִיתֹו שֵׁשׁ־מֵאֹות שְׁקָלִים בַּרְזֶל וְנֹשֵׂא הַצִּנָּה הֹלֵךְ לְפָנָיו׃
8He stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, "Why have you come out to draw up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me. וַיַּעֲמֹד וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־מַעַרְכֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם לָמָּה תֵצְאוּ לַעֲרֹךְ מִלְחָמָה הֲלֹוא אָנֹכִי הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי וְאַתֶּם עֲבָדִים לְשָׁאוּל בְּרוּ־לָכֶם אִישׁ וְיֵרֵד אֵלָי׃
9If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us." אִם־יוּכַל לְהִלָּחֵם אִתִּי וְהִכָּנִי וְהָיִינוּ לָכֶם לַעֲבָדִים וְאִם־אֲנִי אוּכַל־לֹו וְהִכִּיתִיו וִהְיִיתֶם לָנוּ לַעֲבָדִים וַעֲבַדְתֶּם אֹתָנוּ׃
10And the Philistine said, "I defy the ranks of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together." וַיֹּאמֶר הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי אֲנִי חֵרַפְתִּי אֶת־מַעַרְכֹות יִשְׂרָאֵל הַיֹּום הַזֶּה תְּנוּ־לִי אִישׁ וְנִלָּחֲמָה יָחַד׃
11When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid. וַיִּשְׁמַע שָׁאוּל וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־דִּבְרֵי הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי הָאֵלֶּה וַיֵּחַתּוּ וַיִּרְאוּ מְאֹד׃ ף
