David and Goliath is arguably the most famous story from the Old Testament, in which a young Israelite confronts a powerful enemy who is technologically and physically superior in every way. David...armed only with his courage, a few rocks, and his unshakable faith in the Living God...strikes down the giant in a spectacular act of faith and finally turns the tide against Israel's most lethal enemy.

David said, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?”

Saul replied, “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”

But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine!”
