Verse 41 is found in chapter 17 of 1 Samuel. David faces Goliath with a sling and five stones, but before the battle declares that the battle belongs to the Lord. The giant’s defeat is not explained by David’s military superiority, but by God’s intervention in response to a confrontation against his name. David uses Goliath’s sword to complete the victory, and the Philistines flee. The story turns the battle into a demonstration that the Lord can save without depending on the instruments considered powerful by human societies.

Und der Philister ging auch einher und machte sich zu David und sein Schildträger vor ihm her.
Y el Filisteo venía andando y acercándose a David, y su escudero delante de él.

Le Philistin s'approcha peu à peu de David, et l'homme qui portait son bouclier marchait devant lui.
Il Filisteo si mosse anch’esso, e venne accostandosi a Davide; e colui che portava il suo scudo andava davanti a lui.
O filisteu também vinha se aproximando de Davi; e o que lhe levava o escudo ia adiante dele.
那 非利士 人漸漸走近 大衛 ,拿盾牌的人在他前面。
