Defy

de-fi' (charaph, za`am): In 1 Sam 17:10; 1 Sam 17:25; 1 Sam 17:26; 1 Sam 17:36; 1 Sam 17:45 (the story of David and Goliath) and kindred passages, this word is used in its most familiar sense--"to taunt," "challenge to combat" (Hebrew charaph). In Num 23:7; Num 23:8 "denounce" would be a better translation than "defy" (Hebrew za`am).
