1 Samuel 17:49 in Context — 1 Samuel 17

47 Et toute cette multitude saura que ce n’est ni par l’épée ni par la lance que l’Éternel sauve. Car la victoire appartient à l’Éternel. Et il vous livre entre nos mains.

48 Aussitôt que le Philistin se mit en mouvement pour marcher au-devant de David, David courut sur le champ de bataille à la rencontre du Philistin.

49 Il mit la main dans sa gibecière, y prit une pierre, et la lança avec sa fronde; il frappa le Philistin au front, et la pierre s’enfonça dans le front du Philistin, qui tomba le visage contre terre.

50 Ainsi, avec une fronde et une pierre, David fut plus fort que le Philistin; il le terrassa et lui ôta la vie, sans avoir d’épée à la main.

51 Il courut, s’arrêta près du Philistin, se saisit de son épée qu’il tira du fourreau, le tua et lui coupa la tête. Les Philistins, voyant que leur héros était mort, prirent la fuite.
