David’s Victory, 1Samuel 17:41-51

41 With his shield-bearer marching before him, the Philistine also advanced closer and closer to David.

42 When he had sized David up, and seen that he was youthful, and ruddy, and handsome in appearance, he held him in contempt.

43 The Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog that you come against me with a staff?” Then the Philistine cursed David by his gods

44 and said to him, “Come here to me, and I will leave your flesh for the birds of the of the air and the beasts of the field.”

45 David answered him: “You come against me with sword and spear, and scimitar, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel that you have insulted.

46 Today, the Lord shall deliver you into my hand; I will strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will leave your corpse and the corpse of the Philistine army for the birds of the air and the beast of the field; thus the whole land shall learn that Israel has a God.

47 All this multitude, too, shall learn that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves. For the battle is the LORD’S, and he shall deliver you into our hands.”

48 The Philistine then moved to meet David at close quarters, while David ran quickly toward the battle line in the direction of the Philistine.

49 David put his hand into the bag and took out a stone, hurled it with the sling, and struck the Philistine on the forehead, the stone embedded itself in his brow, and he fell prostrate on the ground.

50 [Thus David overcame the Philistine with sling and Stone; he struck the Philistine mortally and did it without a sword.]

51 Then David ran and stood over him; with the Philistine‘s own sword, [which he drew from its sheath] he dispatched him and cut off his head.
