David Holds Goliath's Head Before the ArmyBible World
17:541 Samuel 17:54
And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
1 Samuel 17:54 belongs to David's victory over Goliath, which was God's deliverance of Israel. The particular meaning of bringing Goliath's head to Jerusalem and putting his armor in the tent is not specified. That victory was won not by human strength, weapons, armor, or prepared human power, but by the Lord's power received through trusting God.
David refused Saul's armor because he had not proved it and went forward relying on God. By contrast, Goliath trusted in his armor and boasted in his own strength. The verse therefore calls for humility and faith in God rather than self-confidence.
