Choose a man as your representative and have him come down to me. (B)If he is able to fight me and [a]kill me, then we will become your servants; but if I prevail against him and [b]kill him, then you shall become our servants and serve us.” 10 Then the Philistine said, “(C)I have defied the ranks of Israel this day! Give me a man, so that we may fight together.”
