This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
41 Then Galyat (Goliath) came closer and closer to David, with his shield-bearer walking in front of him. 42 When he looked and realised that David was a reddish, good-looking lad, he despised him 43 and asked him, “Are you coming to me with a stick because you think I’m a dog?” Then the Pelishti cursed David by his gods. 44 “Come over here,” he told David, “and let me give your flesh to the vultures and wild animals.”
45 “You’re coming to me with a sword and spear and dagger,” David shouted back. “But I’m coming to you in the name of commander Yahweh, the god of Yisrael’s (Israel) army that you’ve been taunting. 46 Today, Yahweh will help me defeat you and I’ll knock you down and cut off your head. What’s more, I’ll give the Pelishti army corpses to the vultures and wild animals today, then everyone will know that there’s a god in Yisrael. 47 Everyone here will learn that Yahweh doesn’t save with swords or spears, because he’s in charge of the battle and will help us defeat you all.”
48 Then as Galyat went closer to meet David, David ran quickly towards him at the battle line. 49 He slipped his hand into his bag and took out a single stone and slung it towards the Pelishti—striking him on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead and he collapsed forwards onto the ground, 50 and so David defeated the Pelishti with a sling and a stone—knocking him down and killing him.[ref] Not having a sword with him, 51 David ran and stood over the Pelishti—drawing Galyat’s sword out of its sheath to kill him and cut off his head.[ref]
When the Pelishtim saw that their powerful champion was dead, they fled 52 and the Israeli warriors started yelling and they chased the Pelishtim into the valley and as far as the gates of Ekron. The dead bodies of the Pelishtim could be seen on the road all the way from Sha’arayim to Gat and Ekron. 53 When the Israelis returned from chasing the Pelishtim, they raided the valuables from their camp. 54 David put Galyat’s equipment into his own tent, then he carried his head to Yerushalem (Jerusalem).
2Sam 21:19:
19 Then in another battle with the Pelishtim at Gov, Elhanan (son of Ya’are-Oregim, from Beyt-Lehem (Bethlehem)) killed Galyat (Goliath) the Giti even though his spear handle was like a weaver’s beam.
