1 Samuel 17:51-52

17:51 David ran and stood over the Philistine. He grabbed Goliath’s ¹  sword, drew it from its sheath, ²  killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they ran away.

17:52 Then the men of Israel and Judah charged forward, shouting a battle cry. ³  They chased the Philistines to the valley ⁴  and to the very gates of Ekron. The Philistine corpses lay fallen along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron.

¹ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Goliath) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² tc Most LXX mss lack the words “drew it from its sheath.”

³ tn Heb “arose and cried out.”

⁴ tc Most of the LXX ms tradition has here “Gath.”
