48
It happened, when the Pelishti arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried, and ran toward the army to meet the Pelishti.
49
David put his hand in his bag, and took there a stone, and slang it, and struck the Pelishti in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the eretz.
50
So David prevailed over the Pelishti with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Pelishti, and killed him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
51
Then David ran, and stood over the Pelishti, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath of it, and killed him, and cut off his head therewith. When the Pelishtim saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
52
The men of Yisra'el and of Yehudah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Pelishtim, until you come to Gai, and to the gates of `Ekron. The wounded of the Pelishtim fell down by the way to Sha`arayim, even to Gat, and to `Ekron.
53
The children of Yisra'el returned from chasing after the Pelishtim, and they plundered their camp.
54
David took the head of the Pelishti, and brought it to Yerushalayim; but he put his armor in his tent.
55
When Sha'ul saw David go forth against the Pelishti, he said to Aviner, the captain of the host, Aviner, whose son is this youth? Aviner said, As your soul lives, O king, I can't tell.
56
The king said, "Inquire whose son the young man is!"
57
As David returned from the slaughter of the Pelishti, Aviner took him, and brought him before Sha'ul with the head of the Pelishti in his hand.
58
Sha'ul said to him, Whose son are you, you young man? David answered, I am the son of your servant Yishai the Beit-Hallachmite.
