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.

[17:51]  ¹ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Goliath) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:51]  ² tc Most LXX mss lack the words “drew it from its sheath.”

[17:52]  ³ tn Heb “arose and cried out.”

[17:52]  ⁴ tc Most of the LXX ms tradition has here “Gath.”
