David was a boy who did chores for his father.

One of those chores was taking care of his father’s sheep. When lions or bears tried to hurt the sheep, David attacked them and rescued the sheep. He was able to save the sheep because he prayed to God for help.

One day, David got to help more than just sheep. He got to help a whole army. The army from Israel was scared to fight the army of the Philistines because its leader, Goliath, was a very big, mean giant. He teased and scared Israel’s army.



But David, who was not even a soldier, fought Goliath. He did not even use weapons because he knew God would help him win the fight.

David won the fight against Goliath because God helped him.
