וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד מֶה עָשִׂיתִי עָתָּה הֲלוֹא דָּבָר הֽוּא
And David said: ‘What have I now done? Was it not but a word?’
וַיִּסֹּב מֵֽאֶצְלוֹ אֶל־מוּל אַחֵר וַיֹּאמֶר כַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה וַיְשִׁבֻהוּ הָעָם דָּבָר כַּדָּבָר הָרִאשֽׁוֹן
And he turned away from him toward another, and spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him after the former manner.
וַיְּשָּֽׁמְעוּ הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר דָּוִד וַיַּגִּדוּ לִפְנֵֽי־שָׁאוּל וַיִּקָּחֵֽהוּ
And when the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed them before Saul; and he was taken to him.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל־שָׁאוּל אַל־יִפֹּל לֵב־אָדָם עָלָיו עַבְדְּךָ יֵלֵךְ וְנִלְחַם עִם־הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי הַזֶּֽה
And David said to Saul: ‘Let no man’s heart fail within him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.’
וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל אֶל־דָּוִד לֹא תוּכַל לָלֶכֶת אֶל־הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי הַזֶּה לְהִלָּחֵם עִמּוֹ כִּֽי־נַעַר אַתָּה וְהוּא אִישׁ מִלְחָמָה מִנְּעֻרָֽיו
And Saul said to David: ‘Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.’
