1 Samuel 17:43 in Context — 1 Samuel 17

41 E o filisteu vinha andando e aproximando-se a Davi, e seu escudeiro diante dele.

42 E quando o filisteu olhou e viu a Davi, menosprezou-o; porque era rapaz, e ruivo, e de bela aparência.

43 E disse o filisteu a Davi: Sou eu cão para que venhas a mim com paus? E amaldiçoou a Davi por seus deuses.

44 Disse logo o filisteu a Davi: Vem a mim, e darei tua carne às aves do céu, e aos animais do campo.

45 Então disse Davi ao filisteu: Tu vens a mim com espada e lança e escudo; mas eu venho a ti no nome do SENHOR dos exércitos, o Deus dos esquadrões de Israel, que tu provocaste.
