Some believe it is because Goliath had three brothers and a father still living. They believe David knew he would probably have to kill the whole family. [Back in those times the laws of an eye for an eye etc... were used and it would have been within the right of the family [Goliath's] to obtain vengeance against David.]
But, could it really be that David was so confident and faithful to God that he picked up a stone for each remaining giant just in case they wanted revenge? Why not? However, the question comes to mind, "Do we have any indications that David, the keeper of sheep, knew anything about Goliath beyond his defiance of the Lord and the armies of Israel?"
Therefore, there are also some who believe David picked up five stones because the number five in Scripture is the number of grace.
David is the type of Christ and by His grace He will slay all the Goliaths in our lives IF we trust Him by faith.
