Verse 54
1 Samuel 17:54. And David took the head of the Philistine— After having shewn the head to Saul, 1Sa 17:57 and exhibited it to all the people, chap. 1Sa 18:6 he deposited it at Jerusalem, that it might be an object of terror, perhaps, to the Jebusites, who still possessed the strong fortress of Sion. 2 Samuel 5:7. Some suppose that David carried the head of Goliath to Jerusalem, as being the nearest and most convenient town to the place of the combat. A tent, most likely, was set up for David upon this occasion, where he placed the armour of Goliath. It was afterwards deposited in the tabernacle, as a trophy to the glory of that God who had given David the victory.
