50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. There was no sword in the hand of David. 51 Then David ran and stood over the Philistine (A)and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, (B)they fled. 52 And the men of Israel and Judah rose with a shout and pursued the Philistines as far as Gath[a] and the gates of (C)Ekron, so that the wounded Philistines fell on the way from (D)Shaaraim as far as (E)Gath and Ekron. 53 And the people of Israel came back from chasing the Philistines, and they plundered their camp. 54 And David took (F)the head of the Philistine (G)and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent.
