Romans 12:2

Do not conform to the pattern

of this world, but be
transformed by the renewing
of your mind.

1 Samuel 17
David said to Saul, I cant fight in these
things. Im not used to them. So David took
them all off. He took his walking stick in his
hand and went to find five smooth stones
from the stream. He put the five stones in
his shepherds bag and held his sling in his
hand. Then he went out to meet the
Philistine. (39-40)

 David said to the Philistine, You

come to me using sword, spear, and
javelin. But I come to you in the
name of the Lord All-Powerful, the
God of the armies of Israel. You have
said bad things about him. (45)

 Today the Lord will let me

defeat you. I will kill you. I will
cut off your head and feed
your body to the birds and
wild animals. (46)

 All the people gathered here will

know that the Lord doesnt need
swords or spears to save people.
The battle belongs to the Lord,
and he will help us defeat all of
you.

 Goliath the Philistine started to attack David.

He slowly walked closer and closer toward
David, but David ran out to meet Goliath.
David took out a stone from his bag. He put it
in his sling and swung the sling. The stone flew
from the sling and hit Goliath right between
the eyes. The stone sank deep into his head,
and Goliath fell to the groundface down.

 So David defeated the Philistine with

only a sling and one stone! He hit the
Philistine and killed him. David didnt
have a sword,
One stone? How many did he have?
Prophetic picture of future battles

2 Samuel 21
The Philistines started another war with Israel.
David and his men went out to fight the
Philistines, but David became very tired and
weak. 16 Ishbi-Benob was one of the giants.
His spear weighed over 7 pounds. He put on
new armor and thought he would be able to kill
David. But Abishai son of Zeruiah killed this
giant Philistine and saved Davids life. (15-22)

 Later, there was another battle with

the Philistines at Gob. Sibbecai the
Hushathite killed Saph, another one
of the giants.

 Later, there was another battle at

Gob against the Philistines. Elhanan
the son of Jaare Oregim from
Bethlehem killed Lahmi, the brother
of Goliath from Gath. His spear was
as big as a post.

 There was another battle at Gath. There

was a very large man who had six
fingers on each hand and six toes on
each foot. He had 24 fingers and toes in
all. This man was also one of the giants.
This man challenged Israel and made fun
of them, but Jonathan killed this man.

 All four of these men were giants

from Gath. They were killed by David
and his men.
These were the brothers / sons of
Goliath. A total of 5 men David and
his mighty men killed to walk in
victory and peace.
