ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૧૭:૮
તેણે ઊભા રહિને ઇઝરાયલના સૈન્યોને હાંક મારી, “શા માટે તમે યુદ્ધનો વ્યૂહ રચવાને બહાર આવ્યા છો? શું હું પલિસ્તી નથી અને તમે શાઉલના ચાકરો નથી? તમે પોતાને સારુ એક માણસ પસંદ કરો અને તે મારી સામે ઊતરી આવે.
हिन्दी1 शमूएल १७:८
वह खड़ा होकर इस्राएली पाँतियों को ललकार के बोला, “तुम ने यहाँ आकर लड़ाई के लिये क्यों पाँति बाँधी है? क्या मैं पलिश्ती नहीं हूँ, और तुम शाऊल के अधीन नहीं हो? अपने में से एक पुरुष चुनो, कि वह मेरे पास उतर आए।

In context

6He had bronze shin armor on his legs and a bronze javelin between his shoulders.

7The staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron. His shield bearer went before him.

8He stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said to them, “Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.

9If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you will be our servants and serve us.”

10The Philistine said, “I defy the armies of Israel today! Give me a man, that we may fight together!”
