1 Samuel 17:9 in Context — 1 Samuel 17
7 A haste de sua lança era como um lançador de tear, e tinha o ferro de sua lança seiscentos siclos de ferro: e ia seu escudeiro diante dele.
8 E parou-se, e deu vozes aos esquadrões de Israel, dizendo-lhes: Para que saís a dar batalha? não sou eu o filisteu, e vós os servos de Saul? Escolhei dentre vós um homem que venha contra mim:
9 Se ele puder lutar comigo, e me vencer, nós seremos vossos servos: e se eu puder mais que ele, e o vencer, vós sereis nossos servos e nos servireis.
10 E acrescentou o filisteu: Hoje eu desafiei o acampamento de Israel; dá-me um homem que lute comigo.
11 E ouvindo Saul e todo Israel estas palavras do filisteu, perturbaram-se, e tiveram grande medo.
