The Bible is silent in regards to David's age as a shepherd. However, as a young shepherd, David acquired skill in throwing slingstones, and he developed endurance, courage, and a willingness to pursue and rescue sheep separated from the flock, not hesitating to kill a bear or a lion when necessary. (1Samuel 17:34-36)
