David hears the challenge

23While he was speaking with them, behold, the champion came up—the Philistine named Goliath, from Gath, from the ranks of the Philistines—and he spoke these words, and David heard.

24And every man of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from before him and were very afraid.

25And the men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who is coming up? Surely he is coming up to defy Israel. And it shall be that the man who strikes him down, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father’s house free in Israel.”
