1 David and Goliath Bible Verse I will live in the LORD s house as long as I live. (Psalm 23:6) Session 7 October 13 Bible Story 1 Samuel 17:1-51a Leap of Faith God s love is with me all the days of my life. Before You Begin The story of David and Goliath is one of the best-known Bible stories. Even people without a religious background know the basic outline of the story. Painters, sculptors, musicians, poets, and videographers have used this story as subject matter. The tale of David, a young shepherd boy, defeating Goliath, a mighty warrior, has become a metaphor for hope for the underdog. When people are faced with seemingly overwhelming opposition, this story is a reminder that there is a way to overcome. The first three verses of 1 Samuel chapter 17 set the stage for the rest of the story. The pesky Philistines are back. They have assembled for battle against the Israelites. The Philistine and Israelite armies are camped on opposite sides of a valley. Out of the Philistine camp comes Goliath, who challenges the Israelites to choose one man to fight him in order to decide the battle. The tradition of single, representative combat was not unusual in the ancient world. Goliath is described as being more than nine feet tall a height that would be tall even by today s standards and was understandably intimidating at a time when the average height was much shorter than it is today. Not only was Goliath tall, but also his armor was state of the art. Three verses are devoted to describing Goliath s armor. Into this scene comes David, sent by his father to bring food to his three oldest brothers who are in Saul s army. David arrives at the army camp just as Goliath appears to make his daily challenge. David displays the curiosity we would expect from any young person in this situation. He wants to know what is happening. David is the first Israelite who appears to be willing to fight Goliath. David is also the first one in the story to describe the situation in a theological context. To David s way of thinking, Goliath has done more than simply challenge Israel s army; Goliath has insulted God. It s this framing of the situation that gives David the courage to face Goliath. David is confident that God is on his side. Requires preparation. s Fall 2013 Session 7 GrowProclaimServe.com 69
