1 Samuel 17:48-51

17:48 The Philistine drew steadily closer to David to attack him, while David quickly ran toward the battle line to attack the Philistine.¹ 17:49 David reached his hand into the bag and took out a stone. He slung it, striking the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank deeply into his forehead, and he fell down with his face to the ground.

17:50 ²David prevailed over the Philistine with just the sling and the stone. He struck down the Philistine and killed him. David did not even have a sword in his hand.³ 17:51 David ran and stood over the Philistine. He grabbed Goliath’s⁴ sword, drew it from its sheath,⁵ killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they ran away.

¹tc Most LXX mss lack the second half of v. 48.

⁴tn Heb “his”; the referent (Goliath) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁵tc Most LXX mss lack the words “drew it from its sheath.”
