SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:54
Y David tomó la cabeza del filisteo, y la trajo a Jerusalén, mas puso sus armas en su tienda.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 17:54
Verse 54. David took the head of the Philistine] It has been already remarked that this, with the following verses, and the five first verses of the eighteenth chapter, are omitted by the Septuagint. See the observations at the end.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 54. And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem , etc.] After he had been introduced with it to Saul, and when he had passed through various cities in Israel, carrying the head in triumph; where he was congratulated by the women, who came out singing and dancing, and speaking highly in his commendation and praise: why he carried it to Jerusalem is not easy to say, this not being a royal city, nor was it wholly in the hands of the Israelites; part of it indeed was in the possession of Judah and Benjamin, but the stronghold of Zion was possessed by the Jebusites; and it is generally thought that it was to the terror of them that the head of Goliath was carried there. R. Joseph Kimchi thinks, that Nob, where the tabernacle was at this time, was surnamed Jerusalem, but for what reason cannot be said: but he put his armour in his tent ; not where the army was encamped before the engagement; for David had not his tent there, and beside the camp broke up upon this victory obtained; but rather in his tent or apartment at Bethlehem, when he returned thither, and where he laid up the armour he took from Goliath; though Abarbinel thinks, and so other Jews f383 , that by his tent is meant the tabernacle of the Lord, called David’s, because of his attachment to it; and certain it is that the sword of Goliath was either now, or at least hereafter, laid up there, (see 1 Samuel 21:9); where all that went to sacrifice might see it, and call to mind this wonderful instance of the power and goodness of God, and praise him for it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 48-58 - See how frail and uncertain life is, even when a man thinks himsel best fortified; how quickly, how easily, and by how small a matter, the passage may be opened for life to go out, and death to enter! Let no the strong man glory in his strength, nor the armed man in his armour God resists the proud, and pours contempt on those who defy him and his people. No one ever hardened his heart against God and prospered. The history is recorded, that all may exert themselves for the honour of God, and the support of his cause, with bold and unshaken reliance of him. There is one conflict in which all the followers of the Lamb are and must be engaged; one enemy, more formidable than Goliath, stil challenges the armies of Israel. But "resist the devil, and he wil flee from you." God forth to battle with the faith of David, and the powers of darkness shall not stand against you. But how often is the Christian foiled through an evil heart of unbelief __________________________________________________________________
