14 And they went on to say to them: “We cannot possibly do such a thing, to give our sister to a man who has a foreskin,+ because that is a reproach to us.

6 So Jonʹa·than* said to the attendant, his armor-bearer: “Do come and let us cross over to the outpost of these uncircumcised+ men. Perhaps Jehovah will work for us, for there is no hindrance to Jehovah to save by many or by few.”+

26 And David began to say to the men that were standing close by him: “What will be done to the man that strikes down that Phi·lisʹtine+ over there and actually turns away reproach from upon Israel?+ For who is this uncircumcised+ Phi·lisʹtine that he has to taunt+ the battle lines of the living God?”*+

4 Then Saul said to his armor-bearer: “Draw your sword+ and run me through with it, that these uncircumcised+ men may not come and certainly run me through and deal abusively with me.” And his armor-bearer was unwilling,+ because he was very much afraid. So Saul took the sword and fell upon it.+
