1 Samuel 17:45-51 ▼

45 And David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with the sword, and with the spear, and with the javelin, and I come to you in the name of YHWH of Hosts, the God of the ranks of Israel, whom you have defied.

46 This day YHWH will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you, and I will give the carcass of the camp of the Philistines this day to the bird of the heavens and to the beast of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

47 And all this assembly shall know that YHWH saves not with sword and with spear, for the battle is to YHWH, and He will give to you? into our hands.”

48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran to the rank to meet the Philistine.

49 And David put his hand in the vessel and took out a stone, and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, and the stone sank into his forehead. And he fell on his face to the ground.

50 And David prevailed over the Philistine with the sling and with the stone, and he struck the Philistine and killed him. And no sword was in the hand of David.

51 And David ran and stood over the Philistine, and he took his sword and drew it out of its sheath, and he killed him and cut off with it his head. And the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, and they fled.
