Then when Saul set out with the forces, he said: “God will try you with a river, so whoso drinks thereof is not of me; and whoso tastes it not is of me save he who scoops up a handful with his hand.” But they drank thereof save a few of them. Then when he had crossed it, he and those who heeded warning with him, they said: “We have not power this day against Goliath and his forces.” Said those who knew that they should meet God: “How many a small host has overcome a mighty host by the leave of God! And God is with the patient.”
