Event

David strikes the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and the Philistines flee

물매와 돌로 블레셋 사람을 친 다윗과 도망한 블레셋 사람들

1 Samuel 17:48–51: when the Philistine arises, and walks and comes near to meet David, David hurries and runs toward the army to meet the Philistine. David puts his hand in his bag, takes a stone and slings it, and strikes the Philistine in his forehead. The stone sinks into his forehead, and he falls on his face to the earth. So David prevails over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and strikes the Philistine and kills him; but there is no sword in David’s hand. Then David runs, stands over the Philistine, takes his sword, draws it out of its sheath, kills him, and cuts off his head with it. When the Philistines see that their champion is dead, they flee.
