The Victory and the Rout

48

When the Philistine arose, and came and drew near to meet David, David hurried, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.

49

David put his hand in his bag, took a stone, and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.

50

So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.

51

Then David ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of its sheath, and killed him, and cut off his head therewith. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.

52

The men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until you come to Gai, and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.

53

The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.

54

David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent.
