51 Then David ran and stood over the Philistine, and (A)took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and finished him, and cut off his head with it. (B)When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled. 52 Then the men of Israel and Judah rose up and shouted, and they pursued the Philistines [a]as far as the valley, and to the gates of (C)Ekron. And the Philistine dead [b]lay along the way to (D)Shaaraim, even to Gath and Ekron. 53 Then the sons of Israel returned from their close pursuit of the Philistines, and plundered their camps. 54 And David took the Philistine’s head and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his weapons in his tent.
