Clarke's 1-samuel 17:51 Bible Commentary
When the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled - They were panic-struck; and not being willing to fulfill the condition which was stipulated by Goliath, they precipitately left the field. The Israelites took a proper advantage of these circumstances, and totally routed their enemies.
Barnes's 1-samuel 17:51 Bible Commentary
Champion - Quite a different word from that so rendered in 1 Samuel 17:4, 1 Samuel 17:23; better "warrior."
Wesley's 1-samuel 17:51 Bible Commentary
17:51 David took - Hence it appears, that David was not a little man, as many fancy; but a man of considerable bulk and strength, because he was able to manage a giant's sword. The stone threw him down to the earth, and bereaved him of sense and motion; but there remained some life in him, which the sword took away, and so compleated the work. God is greatly glorified, when his proud enemies are cut off with their own sword.
