1 Samuel 17:52 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 17:52

And the men of Israel and of Judah arose
From their encampment and entrenchment, or they prepared for a pursuit:

and shouted, and pursued the Philistines;
shouted when they first set out, and continued shouting as they pursued, to animate their own troops, and terrify the enemy:

until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron;
which was one of the five principalities of the Philistines; so that they pursued them to their own cities, and to the very gates of them:

and the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim;
a city in the tribe of Judah, and seems to be the same with Sharaim, (See Gill on Joshua 15:36). Josephus says F14, there were killed of the Philistines thirty thousand, and twice as many wounded:

even unto Gath, and unto Ekron;
Josephus F15 has it, to the borders of Gath, and to the gates of Ashkelon, which were two other principalities of the Philistines; according to Bunting F16, the whole chase was this, to the valley and river Sorek four miles; from thence to Ekron eight miles; to Ashkelon twenty miles, and to Gath twenty four miles; that is, from the place where Goliath was killed.

1 Samuel 17:52 In-Context

50 As铆 fue como David triunf贸 sobre el filisteo: lo hiri贸 de muerte con una honda y una piedra, y sin empu帽ar la espada.
51 Luego corri贸 adonde estaba el filisteo, le quit贸 la espada y, desenvain谩ndola, lo remat贸 con ella y le cort贸 la cabeza.Cuando los filisteos vieron que su h茅roe hab铆a muerto, salieron corriendo.
52 Entonces los soldados de Israel y de Jud谩, dando gritos de guerra, se lanzaron contra ellos y los persiguieron hasta la entrada de Gat y hasta las puertas de Ecr贸n. Todo el camino, desde Sajarayin hasta Gat y Ecr贸n, qued贸 regado de cad谩veres de filisteos.
53 Cuando los israelitas dejaron de perseguir a los filisteos, regresaron para saquearles el campamento.
54 Luego David tom贸 la cabeza de Goliat y la llev贸 a Jerusal茅n, pero las armas las guard贸 en su tienda de campa帽a.
