1 Samuel 17:51-53
Lexham English Bible
51 Then David ran and stood over the Philistine and took his sword and drew it from its sheath and killed him and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled. 52 The men of Israel and Judah got up, raised the war cry, and pursued the Philistines as far as[a] the valley[b] and up to the gates of Ekron. So the slain of the Philistines fell on the way[c] to Shaaraim up to Gath and as far as Ekron. 53 Then the Israelites[d] returned from pursuing the Philistines and plundered their camp.
