17:39 David strapped on his sword over his fighting attire and tried to walk around, but he was not used to them. 1 David said to Saul, “I can’t walk in these things, for I’m not used to them.” So David removed them.
1 Samuel 17:51
17:51 David ran and stood over the Philistine. He grabbed Goliath’s 2 sword, drew it from its sheath, 3 killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they ran away.
1 tnHeb “he had not tested.”
2 tnHeb “his”; the referent (Goliath) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
