| 9. Formal Translation And the priest said, “Behold, the sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take it, take it, for there is no other sword here.” And David said, “There is none like it; give it to me.” |
| 9. Dynamic Translation The priest said, “This is the sword of Goliath the Philistine—the one you killed in the Elah Valley. See, it is wrapped in a cloth behind the priest’s ephod. If you want to take it, go ahead; there is no other sword here but this one.” David said, “There is nothing like it; give it to me.” |
