The Israelite camp was in a state of panic. They had received a challenge from their enemy, the Philistines, to fight a battle. The Philistines sent their champion, Goliath, a giant over nine feet tall, as their representative against the Israelites. If the Israelites lost the battle, they would be made the slaves of the Philistines, and vice versa. For forty days, no Israelite dared to volunteer to fight the gigantic Philistine.

One morning, David, a young shepherd, went to the Israelite King to volunteer to fight Goliath. He said that his God would help him win the battle. The king was surprised because/for David was only a young boy. However, touched by the boy's faith in his God, he allowed him to fight the giant.

Goliath roared with laughter when he saw David. He was such a puny boy that even the armour was too big for him ! He had no weapons but/except a sling. David was unperturbed by Goliath's ridicule. Using his sling and a stone, David hit the giant right between his eyes. The stone sank into Goliath's brain and with a deafening roar of pain and anguish, the giant fell down and died.
