He slung it, striking the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank deeply into his forehead, and he fell down with his face to the ground.
50 [az] David prevailed over the Philistine with just the sling and the stone. He struck down the Philistine and killed him. David did not even have a sword in his hand.[ba] 51 David ran and stood over the Philistine. He grabbed Goliaths[bb] sword, drew it from its sheath,[bc] and after killing him, he cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they ran away.
