How did david beat goliath?

Answer 1

At that David runs toward Goliath, takes a stone from his bag, puts it in his sling, and hurls it straight into Goliath's forehead. When the Philistines see that the giant is dead, they are terrified and they run away. The Israelites chase after them and win the battle. Please read together with your family this whole story at 1 Samuel 17:12-54. As a youth, you may at times become afraid to follow God's commands. Jeremiah was a young person and he was afraid at first, but God told him: "Do not be afraid . . . for 'I am with you.'" Jeremiah took courage and preached as God instructed him to do. Like David and Jeremiah,

Answer 2

David declared: "You are coming to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I am coming to you with the name of Jehovah of armies, the God of the battle lines of Israel, whom you have taunted." Jehovah then gave the victory. (1 Samuel 17:31-51)

Answer 3

According to 1 Samuel chapter 17, Goliath challenged the Israelites to a contest between himself and the best fighter among the Israelites. The young and untested David took up the challenge and killed Goliath with a slingshot and a stone. On the other hand,Jacob L. Wright, Associate Professor of Hebrew Bible at Emory University, has written that the most popular legends about David, including his killing of Goliath, his affair with Bathsheba and his ruling of a United Kingdom of Israel rather than just Judah, are the creation of those who lived generations after him, in particular those living in the late Persian or Hellenistic period. This would mean that it is not a true story.
