David and Goliath
King David was born as a poor shepherd-boy. He entered the biblical historywith the story of David and Goliath. This story tells about theunequal fight between the little shepherd-boy David and the powerfulwarrior Goliath. Still today people are talking about a fightDavid against Goliath, when one side is much more stronger thanthe other side. David, who became later King of Israel and who was the founderof the house and line David, grew up as a poor shepherd. In thewar against the Philistines he agreed to fight against the giantGoliath, because no other of the warrior wanted to do this. AlthoughDavid was much smaller as the huge Philistine, he defeated Goliath with hissling in his hand by a stone.
As the Philister moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly towardsthe battle line to meet him. Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone,he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead, and he fell face downon the ground. So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and astone; without a sward in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killedhim.
(1 Samuel 17: 48-50)
