In I Samuel 16 and 17 Samuel anoints David as king before his brothers. The well-known story of David's killing of Goliath is described. The description of Goliath as over 9 feet tall and wearing armor weighing over 125 pounds is hard to picture. David, still a boy, does not fill out the armor given to him by Saul. But David is relying on God's power not his own. He is incensed that Goliath dares to defy the armies of the living God. His bravery is an inspiration.
