1 Samuel 17:48-54

48And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when the PhilistineH6430 aroseH6965, and cameH1961 and drewH7126 nigh to meetH7122 DavidH1732, that DavidH1732 hastenedH4116, and ranH7323 towardH7122 the armyH4634 to meetH7122 the PhilistineH6430.

49And DavidH1732 putH7971 his handH3027 in his bagH3627, and tookH3947 thence a stoneH68, and slang it, and smoteH5221 the PhilistineH6430 in his foreheadH4696; and the stoneH68 sankH2883 intoH413 his foreheadH4696, and he fellH5307 uponH5921 his faceH6440 to the earthH776.

50SoH4480 DavidH1732 prevailedH2388 over the PhilistineH6430 with a sling and with a stoneH68, and smoteH5221 the PhilistineH6430, and slewH5221 him; but there was noH369 swordH2719 in the handH3027 of DavidH1732.

51Then DavidH1732 ranH7323, and stoodH5975 over the PhilistineH6430, and tookH3947 his swordH2719, and drewH8025 it outH413 of the sheathH8593 thereof, and slew him, and cutH3772 offH3772 his headH7218 therewith. And when the PhilistinesH6430 sawH7200 that their championH1368 was deadH4191, they fledH5127.

52And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 and of JudahH3063 aroseH6965, and shoutedH7321, and pursuedH7291 the PhilistinesH6430, untilH5704 thou comest to Gai, and to the gatesH8179 of EkronH6138. And the woundedH2491 of the PhilistinesH6430 fellH5307 downH5307 by the wayH1870 to ShaaraimH8189, evenH5704 unto GathH1661, and unto EkronH6138.

53And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 returnedH7725 from chasingH310 afterH310 the PhilistinesH6430, and they spoiled their campH4264.

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