- "And when the Philistineª looked about,ª° and sawª°¹ David,ª he disdainedª° him: for¹ he was¹ [but] a youth,ª and ruddy,ª and of¹ a fairª countenance.ª" {1Sm 17:42} + "And the Philistineª saidª° to¹ David,ª Come²°¹ to¹ me, and I will giveª°¹ thy fleshª unto the fowlsª of the air,ª and to the beastsª of the field.ª" {1Sm 17:44} + "And Benhadadª sentª° unto¹ him, and said,ª° The godsª do¹ so²°¹ unto me, and more¹ also,²°¹ if¹ the dustª of Samariaª shall sufficeª° for handfulsª for all¹ the peopleª that¹ followª me." {1Kg 20:10} + "And he said,ª° Whether¹ they be come outª° for peace,ª takeª° them alive;ª or whether¹ they be come outª° for war,ª takeª° them alive.ª" {1Kg 20:18} + "And he spakeª° beforeª his brethrenª and the armyª of Samaria,ª and said,ª° What¹ doª° these feebleª Jews?ª will they fortifyª° themselves? will they sacrifice?ª° will they make an endª° in a day?ª will they reviveª°¹ the stonesª out of the heapsª¹ of the rubbishª which¹ are burned?ª° ...
