1 Samuel 17:25 in Context — 1 Samuel 17

23 Tandis qu’il parlait avec eux, voici, le Philistin de Gath, nommé Goliath, s’avança entre les deux armées, hors des rangs des Philistins. Il tint les mêmes discours que précédemment, et David les entendit.

24 A la vue de cet homme, tous ceux d’Israël s’enfuirent devant lui et furent saisis d’une grande crainte.

25 Chacun disait: Avez-vous vu s’avancer cet homme? C’est pour jeter à Israël un défi qu’il s’est avancé! Si quelqu’un le tue, le roi le comblera de richesses, il lui donnera sa fille, et il affranchira la maison de son père en Israël.

26 David dit aux hommes qui se trouvaient près de lui: Que fera-t-on à celui qui tuera ce Philistin, et qui ôtera l’opprobre de dessus Israël? Qui est donc ce Philistin, cet incirconcis, pour insulter l’armée du Dieu vivant?

27 Le peuple, répétant les mêmes choses, lui dit: C’est ainsi que l’on fera à celui qui le tuera.
