And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was only a youth, ruddy and good-looking.
So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with bright eyes, and good-looking. And the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!”
And Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.”
Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.
So he said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; and if they have come out for war, take them alive.”
So the Philistine came, and began drawing near to David, and the man who bore the shield went before him.
