ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૧૭:૯
જો તે મારી સાથે લડી શકે અને મને મારી નાખી શકે, તો અમે અમારા લોકો તમારા ચાકરો થશે. પણ જો હું તેને હરાવું અને મારી નાખું, તો તમારે અમારા ચાકરો થઈને અમારી સેવા કરવી.”
हिन्दी1 शमूएल १७:९
यदि वह मुझसे लड़कर मुझे मार सके, तब तो हम तुम्हारे अधीन हो जाएँगे; परन्तु यदि मैं उस पर प्रबल होकर मारूँ, तो तुम को हमारे अधीन होकर हमारी सेवा करनी पड़ेगी।”

In context

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!”

11When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.
