Story About David

The narrative of David, who turned into Israel's best, is too notable to require elaboration. Who among us, both as youngster and grown-up, has not excited to the story of David's experience with the evil Goliath??

What a stunning scene — the officers of Israel on one side of the valley of Elah, the insubordinate Philistine champion on the other. Morning and night for forty days, Goliath had tested Israel to battle, yet they were solidified in fear (1 Sam. 17:10-16).

At the point when David landed on the scene he was chagrined at the tentativeness of his Hebrew family and volunteered to go up against the heathen. In any case, he was hated as a negligible "youth" — at first by lord Saul himself, and after that by Goliath (1 Sam. 17:33,42). Don't worry about it; God was with this "adolescent," who may have been around twenty-two or so at the time (Clarke, 264). Goliath was killed and the Philistine power was directed. Edersheim called this triumph "the defining moment ever of religious government" (89).

Once more, the Lord put resources into youth, and the reason for truth triumphed.
