⁹ And the priest saith, `The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou didst smite in the valley of Elah, lo, it is wrapt in a garment behind the ephod, if it thou dost take to thyself, take; for there is none other save it in this `place'.' And David saith, `There is none like it -- give it to me.'

² and Saul and the men of Israel have been gathered, and encamp by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array to meet the Philistines.

⁶ and have made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of a designer;

⁷ it hath two shoulders joining at its two ends, and it is joined.

⁸ `And the girdle of his ephod which `is' on him, according to its work, is of the same, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.

⁹ `And thou hast taken the two shoham stones, and hast opened on them the names of the sons of Israel;

¹⁰ six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the remaining six on the second stone, according to their births;

¹¹ the work of an engraver in stone, openings of a signet, thou dost open the two stones by the names of the sons of Israel; turned round, embroidered `with' gold, thou dost make them.

¹² `And thou hast set the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod -- stones of memorial to the sons of Israel -- and Aaron hath borne their names before Jehovah, on his two shoulders, for a memorial.

¹³ `And thou hast made embroidered things of gold,

¹⁴ and two chains of pure gold, wreathed work thou dost make them, work of thick bands, and thou hast put the thick chains on the embroidered things.

⁵⁰ And David is stronger than the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smiteth the Philistine, and putteth him to death, and there is no sword in the hand of David,

⁵¹ and David runneth and standeth over the Philistine, and taketh his sword, and draweth it out of its sheath, and putteth him to death, and cutteth off with it his head; and the Philistines see that their hero `is' dead, and flee.

⁵² And the men of Israel rise -- also Judah -- and shout, and pursue the Philistines till thou enter the valley, and unto the gates of Ekron, and the wounded of the Philistines fall in the way of Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron,

⁵³ and the sons of Israel turn back from burning after the Philistines, and spoil their camps.

⁵⁴ And David taketh the head of the Philistine, and bringeth it in to Jerusalem, and his weapons he hath put in his own tent.

¹⁰ and they place his weapons `in' the house of Ashtaroth, and his body they have fixed on the wall of Beth-Shan.
