1 Samuel 17:42 in Context — 1 Samuel 17
40 Il prit en main son bâton, choisit dans le torrent cinq pierres polies, et les mit dans sa gibecière de berger et dans sa poche. Puis, sa fronde à la main, il s’avança contre le Philistin.
41 Le Philistin s’approcha peu à peu de David, et l’homme qui portait son bouclier marchait devant lui.
42 Le Philistin regarda, et lorsqu’il aperçut David, il le méprisa, ne voyant en lui qu’un enfant, blond et d’une belle figure.
43 Le Philistin dit à David: Suis-je un chien, pour que tu viennes à moi avec des bâtons? Et, après l’avoir maudit par ses dieux,
44 il ajouta: Viens vers moi, et je donnerai ta chair aux oiseaux du ciel et aux bêtes des champs.
