1 Samuel 17:48-54

48And it came to pass, when the PhilistineH6430 aroseH6965, and came and advanced to meetH7122 DavidH1732, that DavidH1732 hasted, and ranH7323 towards the ranks to meetH7122 the PhilistineH6430.

49And DavidH1732 put his handH3027 into the bag, and tookH3947 thence a stoneH68, and slang it, and smote the PhilistineH6430 in his foreheadH4696, and the stoneH68 sank into his foreheadH4696; and he fellH5307 on his faceH6440 to the earthH776.

50So DavidH1732 overcame the PhilistineH6430 with a sling and a stoneH68, and smote the PhilistineH6430 and killed him; and there was no swordH2719 in the handH3027 of DavidH1732.

51And DavidH1732 ranH7323, and stoodH5975 upon the PhilistineH6430, and tookH3947 his swordH2719, and drewH8025 it out of its sheathH8593, and killedH4191 him completely, and cutH3772 off his headH7218 with it. And when the PhilistinesH6430 sawH7200 that their hero was deadH4191, they fledH5127.

52And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 and of JudahH3063 aroseH6965, and shoutedH7321, and pursuedH7291 the PhilistinesH6430, until thou comest to the ravine and to the gatesH8179 of EkronH6138. And the woundedH2491 of the PhilistinesH6430 fellH5307 downH5307 on the wayH1870 to ShaaraimH8189, even to GathH1661, and to EkronH6138.

53And the children of IsraelH3478 returnedH7725 from chasing after the PhilistinesH6430, and they pillaged their campsH4264.

54And DavidH1732 tookH3947 the headH7218 of the PhilistineH6430 and broughtH935 it to JerusalemH3389; but he putH7760 his armour in his tentH168.
