And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, [that] the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.

And the men {H376} of Israel {H3478} said {H559}, Have ye seen {H7200} this man {H376} that is come up {H5927}? surely to defy {H2778} Israel {H3478} is he come up {H5927}: and it shall be, that the man {H376} who killeth {H5221} him, the king {H4428} will enrich {H6238} him with great {H1419} riches {H6239}, and will give {H5414} him his daughter {H1323}, and make {H6213} his father's {H1} house {H1004} free {H2670} in Israel {H3478}.

The soldiers from Isra'el said [to each other], "You saw that man who just came up? He has come to challenge Isra'el. To whoever kills him, the king will give a rich reward; he'll also give him his daughter and exempt his father's family from all service and taxes in Isra'el."

Now the men of Israel had been saying, “Do you see this man who keeps coming out to defy Israel? To the man who kills him the king will give great riches. And he will give him his daughter in marriage and exempt his father’s house from taxation in Israel.”

And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house free in Israel.
