ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૧૭:૨૬
દાઉદે પાસે ઊભેલા માણસોને કહ્યું કે, “જે માણસ આ પલિસ્તીને મારી નાખીને ઇઝરાયલમાંથી કલંક દૂર કરશે તેને શું મળશે? આ બેસુન્નત પલિસ્તી કોણ છે કે જીવતા ઈશ્વરના સૈન્યનો તે તિરસ્કાર કરે?”
हिन्दी1 शमूएल १७:२६
तब दाऊद ने उन पुरुषों से जो उसके आस-पास खड़े थे पूछा, “जो उस पलिश्ती को मारकर इस्राएलियों की नामधराई दूर करेगा उसके लिये क्या किया जाएगा? वह खतनारहित पलिश्ती क्या है कि जीवित परमेश्वर की सेना को ललकारे?”

In context

24All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were terrified.

25The men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. The king will give great riches to the man who kills him, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father’s house tax-free in Israel.”

26David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, “What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”

27The people answered him in this way, saying, “So shall it be done to the man who kills him.”

28Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger burned against David, and he said, “Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the evil of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle.”
