This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Sa_17:49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang [it], and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
Ver. 49. And smote the Philistine in his forehead.] That seat of pride and impudency; there being no other part of Goliath capable of danger; the rest of him was defenced with a brazen wall. This was the Lord’s own work, and it is justly marvellous in our eyes.
That the stone sunk into his forehead.] And, through that, into his brain, whereby he, being presently deprived of sense and motion, fell to the ground in the fulness of his stature, as it is afterwards said of Saul. {1Sa_28:20}
“ Dïõðçóåí äå ðåóùí , ” - Hom.
