51So running up to the Philistine and putting his foot on him, David took his sword out of its cover, and put him to death, cutting off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their fighter was dead, they went in flight.
52And the men of Israel and of Judah got up, and gave a cry, and went after the Philistines as far as Gath and the town doors of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines were falling down by the road from Shaaraim all the way to Gath and Ekron.
53Then the children of Israel came back from going after the Philistines, and took their goods from the tents.
54And David took the head of the Philistine to Jerusalem, but the metal war-dress and the arms he put in his tent.
55And when Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the army, Abner, whose son is this young man? And Abner said, On your life, O king, I have no idea.
56And the king said, Make search and see whose son this young man is.
57And when David was coming back after the destruction of the Philistine, Abner took him to Saul, with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
