THE HOLY WAR AND ISRAEL 

"Today ADONAI will hand you over to me. I will attack you, lop your head off, and give the carcasses of the army of the P'lishtim to the birds in the air and the animals in the land. Then all the land will know that there is a God in Isra'el, and everyone assembled here will know that ADONAI does not save by sword or spear. For this is ADONAI's battle, and he will hand you over to us." (1 Samuel 17:46-47)

=For this is ADONAI's battle, and he will hand you over to us

=ὅτι τοῦ κυρίου ὁ πόλεμος καὶ παραδώσει κύριος ὑμᾶς εἰς χεῖρας ἡμῶν

=ipsius enim est bellum, et tradet vos in manus nostras

=perché del Signore è la guerra ed egli vi metterà certo nelle nostre mani

= כִּ֤י לַֽיהוָה֙ הַמִּלְחָמָ֔ה וְנָתַ֥ן אֶתְכֶ֖ם בְּיָדֵֽנוּ

PARALLELS TO 1 SAMUEL 17,46-47

+++In questo stesso giorno, il Signore ti farà cadere nelle mie mani. Io ti abbatterò e ti staccherò la testa e getterò i cadaveri dell'esercito filisteo agli uccelli del cielo e alle bestie selvatiche; tutta la terra saprà che vi è un Dio in Israele. 47 Tutta questa moltitudine saprà che il Signore non salva per mezzo della spada o della lancia, perché del Signore è la guerra ed egli vi metterà certo nelle nostre mani»+++ (CEI)
