1 Samuel 17:47 in Context — 1 Samuel 17

45 David dit au Philistin: Tu marches contre moi avec l’épée, la lance et le javelot; et moi, je marche contre toi au nom de l’Éternel des armées, du Dieu de l’armée d’Israël, que tu as insultée.

46 Aujourd’hui l’Éternel te livrera entre mes mains, je t’abattrai et je te couperai la tête; aujourd’hui je donnerai les cadavres du camp des Philistins aux oiseaux du ciel et aux animaux de la terre. Et toute la terre saura qu’Israël a un Dieu.

47 Et toute cette multitude saura que ce n’est ni par l’épée ni par la lance que l’Éternel sauve. Car la victoire appartient à l’Éternel. Et il vous livre entre nos mains.

48 Aussitôt que le Philistin se mit en mouvement pour marcher au-devant de David, David courut sur le champ de bataille à la rencontre du Philistin.

49 Il mit la main dans sa gibecière, y prit une pierre, et la lança avec sa fronde; il frappa le Philistin au front, et la pierre s’enfonça dans le front du Philistin, qui tomba le visage contre terre.
