46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give athe carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, bthat all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
47 Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord adoes not save with sword and spear; for bthe battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.”
48 So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and aran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49 Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.
50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a asling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David.
