1 Samuel 17:29

Verse 29. Sepak. Lit. “is it not a word” ( Bible.) of no farther consequences? May I not speak my sentiments? ( Calmet.) as all others do. Menochius.—Is not the thing enough to excite the indignation even of the coldest person, to hear this monster insulting God’s armies? The repeated inquiries of David, made people conclude that he was ready to fight the giant, ( Bible.) though as yet he had made no such proposal, whence it seems more improbable that his words would be reported to the king. Kennicott.—Prot. “Is there not a cause?” Bible.—Have I not an order from my father to come? Menochius.
