1 Samuel 17:8 in Context — 1 Samuel 17
6 Y sobre sus piernas traía grebas de hierro, y escudo de acero á sus hombros.
7 El asta de su lanza era como un enjullo de telar, y tenía el hierro de su lanza seiscientos siclos de hierro: é iba su escudero delante de él.
8 Y paróse, y dió voces á los escuadrones de Israel, diciéndoles: ¿Para qué salís á dar batalla? ¿no soy yo el Filisteo, y vosotros los siervos de Saúl? Escoged de entre vosotros un hombre que venga contra mí:
9 Si él pudiere pelear conmigo, y me venciere, nosotros seremos vuestros siervos: y si yo pudiere más que él, y lo venciere, vosotros seréis nuestros siervos y nos serviréis.
10 Y añadió el Filisteo: Hoy yo he desafiado el campo de Israel; dadme un hombre que pelee conmigo.
