44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
44 "Come here," he said, "and I'll give your flesh to the birds and the wild animals!"
44 The Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and to the beasts of the field."
44 "Come on," said the Philistine. "I'll make roadkill of you for the buzzards. I'll turn you into a tasty morsel for the field mice."
44 And the Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!"
44 "Come over here, and I'll give your flesh to the birds and wild animals!" Goliath yelled.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Samuel 17:44
Commentary on 1 Samuel 17:40-47
(Read 1 Samuel 17:40-47)
