達味(David)

達味回答那培肋舍特說:「你仗著刀槍箭戟來對付我,但我是仗著你所淩辱的萬軍的上主,以色列的天主的聖名來對付你。今天上主定把你交在我手中,我必打死你割下你的頭來;今天我要把你的屍體和培肋舍特軍人的屍體,給空中的飛鳥和田野的走獸吃:這樣:全地都要知道在以色列有天主。在埸的眾人也要知道,上主不賴刀槍賜人勝利,戰爭勝負只屬於上主,衪已把你們交我們手中了。」(撒慕爾紀上17:45-47) Then David said to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword and a spear and a javelin: but I come to you in the name of the Lord of armies, the God of the armies of Israel on which you have put shame. This day the Lord will give you up into my hands, and I will overcome you, and take your head off you; and I will give the bodies of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth today, so that all the earth may see that Israel has a God; And all these people who are here today may see that the Lord does not give salvation by sword and spear: for the fight is the Lord's, and he will give you up into our hands.
