46 "This day the Lord will deliver you up into my hands , and I will strike you down and remove your head from you. And I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky and the wild beasts of the earth , that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel ,
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Samuel 17:46
Commentary on 1 Samuel 17:40-47
(Read 1 Samuel 17:40-47)
