43 And the Philistine said to David, 'Am I a dog, that you approach against me with a staff?' And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 And he said to David, 'Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.'
45 But David said to the Philistine: 'You approach me with sword, and spear, and shield. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, which you have reproached.
46 Today, the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down. And I will take your head from you. And today, I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth, so that all the earth may know that God is with Israel.
47 And this entire assembly will know that the Lord does not save by sword, nor by spear. For this is his war, and he will deliver you into our hands.'
