King Saul is troubled, and David is called to the palace to play his harp and help calm the king. But when the Philistines gather for battle, a giant named Goliath steps into the valley and challenges Israel’s army every morning and evening for forty days. Everyone is afraid, until David arrives with food for his brothers and hears Goliath mocking God’s people.
David is only a shepherd boy, but he remembers how God helped him protect his sheep from a lion and a bear. Refusing Saul’s heavy armor, David walks toward Goliath with his sling, his staff, and five smooth stones. Goliath comes with a sword and spear, but David comes in the name of the God of Israel. This exciting story reminds kids that the battle belongs to God, and when He is with us, we can be brave.
