1 Samuel 17:51 in Context — 1 Samuel 17

49 E metendo Davi sua mão no saco, tomou dali uma pedra, e atirou-a com a funda, e feriu ao filisteu na testa: e a pedra ficou fincada na testa, e caiu em terra sobre seu rosto.

50 Assim venceu Davi ao filisteu com funda e pedra; e feriu ao filisteu e o matou, sem ter Davi espada em sua mão.

51 Mas correu Davi e pôs-se sobre o filisteu, e tomando a espada dele, tirando-a de sua bainha, o matou, e cortou-lhe com ela a cabeça. E quando os filisteus viram seu gigante morto, fugiram.

52 E levantando-se os de Israel e de Judá, deram grito, e seguiram aos filisteus até chegar ao vale, e até as portas de Ecrom. E caíram feridos dos filisteus pelo caminho de Saaraim, até Gate e Ecrom.

53 Tornando logo os filhos de Israel de perseguir os filisteus, despojaram seu acampamento.
