54 Then David took the head+ of the Phi·lisʹtine and brought it to Jerusalem, and his weapons he put in his tent.+

9 And they proceeded to cut off his head+ and strip off his armor and send into the land of the Phi·lisʹtines all around to inform+ the houses of their idols+ and the people.

6 At that he wrote them a second letter, saying: “If YOU belong to me,+ and it is my voice that YOU are obeying, take the heads of the men that are sons+ of YOUR lord and come to me tomorrow at this time at Jezʹre·el.”+

Now the sons of the king, seventy men, were with the distinguished men of the city that were bringing them up.

28 and brought his head on a platter, and he gave it to the maiden, and the maiden gave it to her mother.+
