1 Samuel 17:42

David Appears Before Saul

⁴¹ Then the Philistine {came on, getting nearer and nearer} to David, with {his shield bearer} in front of him. ⁴² When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him, for he was [only] a boy and ruddy with a handsome appearance. ⁴³ So the Philistine said to David, "[Am] I a dog, that you [are] coming to me with sticks?" Then the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
