Goliath Challenges the Israelites
Excerpt
'How dare you oppose the mighty Philistines?’ Or, “Why should the two armies engage, when the controversy may be sooner decided, with only the expense of one life and the hazard of another?'" (2.) He offers to put the war entirely upon the issue of the duel he proposes: “If your champion kill me, we will be your servants; if I kill him, you shall be ours."
