CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

1 Samuel 17

The Philistine champion Goliath challenges Israel for forty days, and Saul’s army is terrified. David arrives from tending his father’s sheep, hears the challenge, and is more concerned that Goliath has defied the armies of the living God than with the giant’s size. Refusing Saul’s unproved armor, David kills Goliath with a sling and stone, and Israel turns the single combat into a rout of the Philistines.
