David & Goliath Bible Story

One day Samuel was talking to God and God mention that Saul was a very bad and naughty king and that there should be a new king. God said that there was an old man named Jesse and that he had eight sons and one of them should be king. When Samuel arrived at Jesse's farm he introduced himself to Jesse and asked for his sons. Samuel saw that they were strong but God was not happy with any of them so Samuel asked if he had another son. Jesse said that David, his youngest son was not a king type because he would rather play music than become a king.

While Samuel was at Jesse's farm, Saul was so scared that they might lose the fight with the Philistines and wanted to hear some calm music to calm him down. So he asked one of his servants to get Samuel. When Samuel arrived at the palace, Saul asked Samuel if he knew anyone that could play soft music for him. Samuel remembered that Jesse's son, David played soft music and he would be able to calm down the king.

While David would play music, the King would mostly fall asleep and David would always see his brothers on the battlefield and wished that he could be able to battle on the battlefield. One morning David asked his brothers if he could go with them but they told him to ask the king first before he could even put a foot on the battlefield. After they talked David marched straight to the palace to see the King. "David is that you? Because I do not need you anymore" Saul told David. "I did not come here to play music, I want permission to go on the battlefield", but instead of the king saying yes/no, he laughed. David looked so serious at the King. The King told David if he would allow him on the battlefield, he would just be leading him to his own death and that he should take King's armor but David said "No thank you". When David arrived at the battlefield, the Philistines had a new battler and he was a giant named Goliath. Goliath said if the Philistines won the Israelite will be the servants of the Philistines. Then a little voice came from the very back said "What happens if the Israelites win? "haha wait are you serious?" said Goliath. When David reached the middle of the battlefield he picked up a rock from the ground and picked a slingshot that was hanging from his clothes, then he aimed and shot Goliath in the forehead. The Philistines were the slaves for the Israelite on that day forward.
