🪨 David and Goliath

Old Testament 1 Samuel 17

The army of the Philistines had a giant warrior named Goliath, over nine feet tall. Every day he shouted, "Send someone to fight me!" — and the soldiers of Israel were afraid.

David, a young shepherd boy, brought food to his brothers in the army. He said, "I will fight him." King Saul gave David his armor, but it was too big, so David took only his shepherd’s sling and five smooth stones from a stream.

Goliath laughed at the boy. But David trusted God, swung his sling, and the stone hit Goliath on the forehead. The giant fell, and David later became king of Israel.
