David+and+Goliath

=David and Goliath=

== Summary: The Lord sent Samuel to Bethlehemite to see a man named Jesse. God told Samuel that among Jesse's sons was a king. So Samuel went to Bethlehemite and invited Jesse and his sons to a sacrifice. When the first son approached Samuel he thought that God must have wanted him to be king because he was very strong looking. God told Samuel not to judge people by their outward appearance. Samuel saw Jesse's seven sons but non of them had been chosen to be king. Then Samuel asked Jesse if he had any more sons and he said yes he had one more son named David. So Jesse called David who was taking care of the sheep to come stand before Samuel. Samuel anointed him and then proceeded with the sacrifice. Later on the Philistines and Israel are at war. Saul the king of Israel at the time gathers his troupes and gets read for battle. In the Philistines' army there is a large man by the name of Goliath. He tells the solders that if one of their men can defeat him one on one the Philistines will become their slaves but if they lost they would become slaves of the Philistines. Jesse's three oldest sons go with Saul to battle. David stays behind and watches the sheep. One day Jesse sends David to go see if his brothers are still alive. He goes to the army camp. David hears Goliath's proposal and David decided to fight against Goliath. Saul gives David his armor but sense David can barely move he decides not to wear it. David picked up some smooth stones and his sling and went to go fight Goliath. Goliath made fun of David who was not wearing any armor and only had a sling and some stones as a weapon. After telling Goliath that he was deifying God he hit Goliath with a stone which sank into Goliath's head and he fell down. David went over to him and cut his head off. The Philistines fled once they saw that Goliath was dead. ==
