In 1 and 2 Samuel we find the story of Saul and David. David, anointed the next king of Israel by the prophet Samuel, had been asked by his father to check on his brothers in battle. Arriving there, he quickly surveyed the humiliating situation between the people of God and the Philistines, (and their Goliath). Realizing that there was a great cause (I Samuel 17:29), he fights and defeats the giant. This great feat was done with a slingshot and just one smooth stone. He rushed and cut off the head of the giant using Goliath’s own sword.
