45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with (A)a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, (B)whom you have defied. 46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down and cut off your head. (C)And I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day (D)to the birds of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth, (E)that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, 47 and that all this assembly may know that (F)the Lord saves not with sword and spear. (G)For the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hand.”

48 When the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine. 49 And David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone and slung it and struck the Philistine on his forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground.

50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. There was no sword in the hand of David. 51 Then David ran and stood over the Philistine (H)and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, (I)they fled. 52 And the men of Israel and Judah rose with a shout and pursued the Philistines as far as Gath[a] and the gates of (J)Ekron, so that the wounded Philistines fell on the way from (K)Shaaraim as far as (L)Gath and Ekron. 53 And the people of Israel came back from chasing the Philistines, and they plundered their camp. 54 And David took (M)the head of the Philistine (N)and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent.

55 As soon as Saul saw David go out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, (O)the commander of the army, “Abner, (P)whose son is this youth?” And Abner said, (Q)“As your soul lives, O king, I do not know.” 56 And the king said, “Inquire whose son the boy is.” 57 And as soon as David returned from the striking down of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul (R)with the head of the Philistine in his hand.

45 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin,(A) but I come against you in the name(B) of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.(C) 46 This day the Lord will deliver(D) you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses(E) of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world(F) will know that there is a God in Israel.(G) 47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword(H) or spear that the Lord saves;(I) for the battle(J) is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”

48 As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. 49 Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.

50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling(K) and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.

51 David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut(L) off his head with the sword.(M)

When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran. 52 Then the men of Israel and Judah surged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath[a] and to the gates of Ekron.(N) Their dead were strewn along the Shaaraim(O) road to Gath and Ekron. 53 When the Israelites returned from chasing the Philistines, they plundered their camp.

54 David took the Philistine’s head and brought it to Jerusalem; he put the Philistine’s weapons in his own tent.

55 As Saul watched David(P) going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, commander of the army, “Abner,(Q) whose son is that young man?”

Abner replied, “As surely as you live, Your Majesty, I don’t know.”

56 The king said, “Find out whose son this young man is.”

57 As soon as David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul, with David still holding the Philistine’s head.
