ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૧૭:૪૦
તેણે પોતાની લાકડી પોતાના હાથમાં લીધી અને નાળાંમાંથી પાંચ સુંવાળા પથ્થરો પોતાને લીધા; તેણે પોતાની પાસે જે થેલી હતી તેમાં મૂક્યા. તેની ગોફણ તેના હાથમાં હતી તે પલિસ્તી તરફ તે ગયો.
हिन्दी1 शमूएल १७:४०
तब उसने अपनी लाठी हाथ में ली और नदी में से पाँच चिकने पत्थर छाँटकर अपनी चरवाही की थैली, अर्थात् अपने झोले में रखे; और अपना गोफन हाथ में लेकर पलिश्ती के निकट गया।

In context

38Saul dressed David with his clothing. He put a helmet of bronze on his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail.

39David strapped his sword on his clothing and he tried to move, for he had not tested it. David said to Saul, “I can’t go with these, for I have not tested them.” Then David took them off.

40He took his staff in his hand, and chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag which he had. His sling was in his hand; and he came near to the Philistine.

41The Philistine walked and came near to David; and the man who bore the shield went before him.

42When the Philistine looked around and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and had a good looking face.
