David and Goliath - two biblical characters, the battle which is one of the few Old Testament scenes of battles.Before becoming king of Israel and the end to break the long-standing enemy of the Jews, the Philistines, David gained fame thanks to a surprising victory.When he was still quite young, the Philistines again attacked Israel's land.Troops stood opposite each other, is about ready to rush into battle, but then from the slender ranks of the enemy troops forward was made by the huge and mighty giant named Goliath, and made an offer to the Jews: the battle to solve the martial arts.He called him personally to fight anyone.If you win a Jew, it is the eternal slaves of the Philistines.If defeated Goliath, the fate of the children of Israel will be the same.I must say that the legend of "David and Goliath" was the basis of many feature films and served as a plot for the beautiful pictures.
So, Goliath was a mighty and terrible giant.He was clad in armor, and no Israeli could not muster the courage to fight him, even though King Saul promise to give out for the brave (if he wins), his only daughter, Michal.For forty days Goliath appeared, laughing Jewish people and denouncing God.It was at this time in the camp of Israel there was a young man named David.He came here with the aim to visit his older brothers and give them gifts that he gave his father.He heard the Goliath defied the Israeli soldiers and God, and was troubled to the depths.He asked permission from King Saul to fight the insolent.The king was surprised such courage, even after all the difference in the weight class enemies was clear: a huge, armed and armored, David and Goliath, which, apart from a few stones and a shepherd's instrument, anything with him was not.But the young man did not put away, he wanted to fight, and was adamant that wins giant Philistine.
Saul asked him how he was going to beat Goliath?After all, he was accustomed to wars since childhood, and David is so young and inexperienced in military matters.At this the young man replied that, as a shepherd, he will not ever again beat the stragglers from the herd of sheep from predators attacking them.And helping him in the Lord himself.And if God had delivered him from a lion and a bear, then the hand of this Philistine ignorant and save.Then the Jews knew where to draw strength from the young man he trusted in the Lord wholly and with its help was hoping to win such a serious and powerful enemy.
And standing on the field of battle, David and Goliath: modest, in fact, an unarmed young man, who in the bag just a few stones, chosen by the river, and in the hands of the sling for their throwing, and menacing, clad in copper, armed to the teethgiant.Tagged familiar and hand threw a stone from a sling young David.Goliath, who went straight into the forehead, collapsed unconscious.Like lightning, he jumped to just defeated the giant boy and grabbed his sword, one stroke cut off his head.The army of the Philistines, saw this wonderful feat for the Jewish people, ran away in confusion.Israel pursues them kicked out, finally enemies from their land.
It was a glorious victory, raise the spirits of the people of Israel and to strengthen their faith in God.The battle, which staged a David and Goliath, the Jews remembered forever.And King Saul promise fulfilled: David as the winner got a wife Michal, and was appointed military commander.However, this activity of the brave young men in the name of the country is not over, because the king once harbored a grudge against him, thinking that he wanted to take his throne, and began to pursue every possible way.But that's another story.
