David and Goliath Case

This Website authenticates the aspects of how people in the Old Testament and people in today's society relate in ways such as courage, determinism, and anxiety. Focusing on the biblical story of David and Goliath, we discover how Goliath was known to be the "hero" of the philistine army.

Goliath had blasphemed David's God and David aimed to stand up for what was right.Ignoring the potential danger, David trusted in God to help him fight Goliath. David said that he would fight the giant. He was immediately taken before King Saul. Though he was a young man, he had experienced enough danger in his life to know God was in control and would protect him through the battle.

More than likely David simply trusted in the God he knew than in the armor he did not know.
