בְּ⁠שֵׁם֙

in/on=name_of

Here the term name could mean, by association: (1) authority. David could be indicating that as a soldier representing the arrays of Israel, which Yahweh ultimately commands, he is fighting Goliath with a commission from Yahweh, as if Yahweh had authorized him to use his name in order to invoke his authority. Alternate translation: [with the authority of] (2) reputation. David could be indicating that by defeating Goliath, he will be defending the reputation of Yahweh as the all-powerful God, whom no other god can defeat. (Goliath has just called on his gods to defeat David.) Alternate translation: [to uphold the reputation of]

אֲשֶׁ֥ר חֵרַֽפְתָּ

which/who defied

The context suggests that David is saying that Goliath has taunted the arrays of Israel, since that is what Goliath himself says in [17:10](../17/10.md), what the Israelite soldiers say in [17:25](../17/25.md), and what David says in [17:26](../17/26.md) and in [17:36](../17/36.md). However, David could also be saying that Goliath has taunted Yahweh of Armies, the God of the arrays of Israel, since to say that his armies cannot win is to say that Yahweh is not able to make them win. If you follow that interpretation, use a personal pronoun here. Alternate translation: [whom you have taunted]
