1 Samuel 17 says that David picked "five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag", but doesn't specifically state why 5 exactly.

Some commentaries (such as David Guzik) speculate that David picked 5 stones because there were 5 giants, Goliath and his 4 brothers (2 Samuel 21).

Was King David of the Bible left handed?

The Bible does not explicitly state whether King David was left-handed or right-handed. However, some interpretations and traditions suggest he might have had ambidextrous skills, particularly due to his prowess with a sling and his ability to play the harp. The focus in biblical texts is more on his leadership and faith rather than his handedness. Therefore, any claims about David being left-handed are largely speculative.
