I went forth to meet the Philistine; and he cursed me by his idols.

Бра́тія моя́ добри́ и вели́цы: и не благоволи́ въ ни́хъ Госпо́дь.

But I drew his own sword, and beheaded him, and removed reproach from the children of Israel.

Изыдо́хъ въ срѣ́теніє иноплеме́ннику, и прокля́тъ мя́ і́долы свои́ми.
