Tree Of Life Version

1 Samuel 17:50-58 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

50. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, struck the Philistine down and killed him. Since there was no sword in David’s hand,

51. David ran, stood over the Philistine, picked up his sword, drew it from its sheath, slew him and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.

52. Then the men of Israel and Judah rose up, shouted and pursued the Philistines all the way to the valley up to the gates of Ekron. The slain Philistines fell down along the way to Shaaraim, even up to Gath and Ekron.

53. When Bnei-Yisrael returned from chasing the Philistines, they plundered their camp.

54. David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his own tent.

55. Now when Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, he asked Abner, the commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is this boy?” Abner said, “As your soul lives, your majesty, I don’t know.”

56. So the king said, “Then, find out whose son this young man is.”

57. So when David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.

58. “Whose son are you, young man?” Saul said to him. David answered, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.”
