Exegesis
The repetition of lalechet and negated Piel perfect nissiti {לֹ֣א נִסִּיתִי | lōʾ nissîṯî} reinforces his inexperience.
In context — 1 Samuel 17:39
David girded his sword over his armor and tried to go, for he had not tested them; and he said to Saul, “I cannot go in these, for I have not tried them.” So he removed them from himself.
