Here the author is saying what happened at the end of the story of David’s victory over Goliath. Your language may have its own way of presenting such information.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / symaction

וַ⁠יְבִאֵ֖⁠הוּ יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם

and,brought,it Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem)

This could mean: (1) that David later brought Goliath’s head to Jerusalem, once he had become king and captured the city. He apparently put it in Yahweh’s sanctuary as a trophy of war, commemorating how Yahweh had enabled him and the Israelites to win this victory. Alternate translation: [and he later brought it to Jerusalem and put it in Yahweh’s sanctuary as a trophy of war] (2) that at this time David brought Goliath’s head to a place near Jerusalem, specifically to Nob, where the sacred tent was at this time. The story indicates in [21:9](../21/09.md) that Goliath’s sword was there, similarly as a war trophy, and David may also have brought or sent Goliath’s head there. Alternate translation: [and he brought it to Nob, near Jerusalem, where the sacred tent was, and put it in the tent with Goliath’s sword as a trophy of war]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠אֶת־כֵּלָ֖י⁠ו שָׂ֥ם בְּ⁠אָהֳלֽ⁠וֹ

and=DOM weapons_of,his put in/on/at/with,tent_of,his

This could mean: (1) that David brought Goliath’s equipment (that is, his armor and weapons) home with him when he returned to Bethlehem. There is no indication that David had a tent among the Israelite soldiers who had camped by the Valley of Elah. The story says that he was usually tending his father’s flock in Bethlehem but occasionally went to the battle lines to bring provisions to his brothers and to bring back news from them. But he may well have had a tent of his own within his father’s compound. Alternate translation: [and he brought Goliath’s armor and weapons back home with him] (2) that David put Goliath’s equipment in Yahweh’s tent, that is, the sacred tent at Nob. The story indicates in [21:9](../21/09.md) that Goliath’s sword was there. Alternate translation: [and he put his equipment in Yahweh’s sacred tent]
