Daily Bible Study - David And Goliath
David And Goliath
One of the best known characters of Bible History is David, who as a lowly shepherd boy defeated the mighty Philistine warrior Goliath, and then grew up to be King David of Israel - and human ancestor of Jesus Christ.
David was the eighth and youngest son of Jesse, from Bethlehem. He was a
strong, healthy lad, apparently with an uncommon characteristic among his
people of the time - red hair. He was a Shepherd from an early age,
and developed his courage and fighting skills by defending the flocks from
the wild animals, including lions and bears, that preyed upon them. The free
time that being a shepherd provided also allowed him to develop two other skills,
that of music and poetry. David was a warrior, and a writer of psalms.
The incident with Goliath the Philistine is probably one of the most told
"Bible stories" of the Old Testament. When the Israelites were at war with
the Philistines, the two armies faced each other from opposite hills with the
Valley of Elah between them. Every morning for forty days, the mighty Goliath
(he may have stood over 9 feet tall) challenged the Israelites for someone to
come out and fight him, but none would go out. One day, David, who was
actually then too young for the army, arrived with some deliveries for his
older brothers. He heard Goliath and immediately volunteered to fight him.
When David explained to King Saul that he had been fighting fierce animals
all his life, he convinced the king that he could defeat the Philistine.
Perhaps by then the king was willing to try anything to get out of the
embarrassing situation, and even if David were not successful the Israelites
could always belittle his lack of success with the excuse that David was
"just a kid."
After turning down an offer of the king's own armor, which was too big for
him, David went down to the creek and got five suitable stones (five, not
just one - apparently he was not absolutely sure of himself) for his sling.
The rest of the story is famous. He killed Goliath with a single perfectly-accurate shot, perhaps with a little help from an angel - the stone didn't
just rebound off the giant man's thick skull as would naturally be expected,
but actually penetrated with the power of a modern high-velocity bullet. Upon
seeing their hero defeated, the Philistine army made a disorderly retreat
(i.e. they just dropped everything and ran), giving the Israelites then in
hot pursuit the victory. The entire story can be found in 1 Samuel 17:1-58.
The success made David very popular in Israel, and when Saul's erratic and
unwise character ruined him as Israel's ruler, The Lord had David appointed
king. David's monarchy was of course planned and decided long before as part
of the human ancestry of Jesus Christ.
Despite all of the many difficulties and shortcomings that David experienced,
politically and even in his own family during his reign, David's rule over
Israel was a time a great advancement for the nation. Jerusalem was taken
from the Canaanites and made the capital, and a vast amount of territory was
gained in all directions. He established Israel as a force to be reckoned
with in that part of the world. Ultimately, he set the stage for his son
Solomon to take Israel to the highest point in its history (see Solomon's Kingdom).
