51 Then David ran and stood over the Philistine ^rand 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, ^sthey fled. 52 And the men of Israel and Judah rose with a shout and pursued the Philistines as far as Gath¹ and the gates of ^tEkron, so that the wounded Philistines fell on the way from ^uShaaraim as far as ^vGath and Ekron. 53 And the people of Israel came back from chasing the Philistines, and they plundered their camp. 54 And David took ^wthe head of the Philistine ^xand brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent.
