In context

41Now the Philistine came closer and closer to David, with his shield-bearer before him.

42When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him because he was just a boy, ruddy and handsome.

43“Am I a dog,” he said to David, “that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

44“Come here,” he called to David, “and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!”

45But David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
