1 Sam. 16:17      1 Sam. 16:19

First Samuel 16:18

Then one of the young men answered and said, "Behold, I have seen one of the young sons of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skilled in playing and a mighty man (warrior, a man in his prime – Hebr. gever), a strong man (Hebr. chajil), a man of war (Hebr. milchama), and a man of good speech, and the Lord (Yahweh) is with him." [The three Hebrew words gever, chajil and milchama have slightly different connotations, but all three words also mean warrior or fighter.]
