Kemudian berkatalah imam itu: "Pedang Goliat, orang Filistin, yang kaupukul kalah di Lembah Tarbantin, itulah yang ada di sini, terbungkus dalam kain di belakang efod itu. Jika engkau hendak mengambilnya, ambillah; yang lain tidak ada, hanya ini." Kata Daud: "Tidak ada yang seperti itu; berikanlah itu kepadaku."
Maka kata imam itu: Bahwa pedang Goliat, orang Filistin yang telah kaubunuh di lembah Kayu Jati itu, ia itu adalah di sini terbalut dengan kain di belakang efod; jikalau engkau hendak mengambil dia, ambillah, karena di sini tiada lain, melainkan satu itu. Maka kata Daud: Tiadalah taranya; berikanlah dia juga kepadaku.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the priest said, the sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah,.... See 1 Samuel 17:2;
behold, it [is here] wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod; the garment of the high priest, in which were the Urim and Thummim, and the breastplate, or the linen vestments of the priests; see 1 Samuel 22:18; which were laid up in a chamber for their use; and behind them the sword of Goliath was wrapped up in a linen cloth, and reserved as a monument of the goodness of God to Israel, and the salvation of them wrought by the hands of David, who slew Goliath with this his own sword, and brought it with him. The Targum understands this word, rendered "behind", not of the place where the sword was, but of the time when the priest said this, and paraphrases the words,
"after he had inquired for him by the ephod;''
see 1 Samuel 22:10;
if thou wilt take that, take [it]; as if he should say, it is not mine to give thee, but thou mayest take it if thou pleasest; none has a better right to it; it is what thou tookest from the Philistine, and may take it again for thy use if thou art so inclined; and thou must either take this or none:
for [there is] no other save that here; in the tabernacle, nor even in the priest's house, nor in the city; for it was a city of priests, who did not wear swords:
and David said, [there is] none like that, give it me; and which, as he was capable of wielding and making use of, as it is plain he was by cutting off Goliath's head with it; so it might serve to strengthen his faith in God, as often as he looked upon it, that he would keep and preserve him, and in due time deliver him out of the hands of Saul, and all his enemies.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod - Rather, “in the cloak,” Goliath’s military cloak, which was part of the dedicated trophy. The ephod was naturally hung up where the high priest alone could get at it.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 21:9. The sword of Goliath — It has already been conjectured (see 1 Samuel 17:1-58) that the sword of Goliath was laid up as a trophy in the tabernacle.
