1 Sam 17:1-18:4, John 8:21-30, Ps 111:1-10, Pr 15:11
45-47 David answered, "You come at me with sword and spear and
battle-ax. I come at you in the name of God-of-the-Angel-Armies, the God
of Israel's troops, whom you curse and mock. This very day God is
handing you over to me. I'm about to kill you, cut off your head, and
serve up your body and the bodies of your Philistine buddies to the
crows and coyotes. The whole earth will know that there's an
extraordinary God in Israel. And everyone gathered here will learn that
God doesn't save by means of sword or spear. The battle belongs to
God—he's handing you to us on a platter!"
3-4 Jonathan, out of his deep love for David, made a covenant with him.
He formalized it with solemn gifts: his own royal robe and
weapons—armor, sword, bow, and belt.
