David and Goliath
Now King Saul was a good king at the beginning of his reign, but he didn't
remain faithful to God. He became proud and did many things which displeased God. God told
Samuel to anoint the younger son of Jesse as the new king. His name was David. Samuel did
annoint him and David eventually became the second king of Israel. But before he became
king he served King Saul. David played the harp beautifully and would play for Saul to
soothe him when he was troubled. David also fought the enemies of Israel. 1Samuel 17
tells the story of how David defeated a giant Philistine named Goliath and how he relied
on God to help him.
