Translation examples
I wish also to recall to memory an instance from the Old Testament applicable to this subject. David offered himself to Saul to fight with Goliath, the Philistine champion, and, to give him courage, Saul armed him with his own weapons; which David rejected as soon as he had them on his back, saying he could make no use of them, and that he wished to meet the enemy with his sling and his knife.
Приходит на память и рассказ из Ветхого завета, весьма тут уместный. Когда Давид вызвал на бой Голиафа, единоборца из стана филистимлян, то Саул, дабы поддержать дух в Давиде, облачил его в свои доспехи, но тот отверг их, сказав, что ему не по себе в чужом вооружении и что лучше он пойдет на врага с собственной пращой и ножом.
