Israel and Philistia are at stalemate in their war, with neither side having a clear upper hand. So the Philistines resort to intimidation to get inside their enemies’ heads. To do this their warrior giant, Goliath, invites solo combat. Now, really, Saul ought to take up this challenge for he’s the king and also the biggest man in Israel. But Saul is too scared and so God brings the newly anointed David to the battlefield to take on the giant. For with the Lord no enemy is too big.
