In the land of Israel, young David tended sheep. He was brave and kind.
One day, a giant named Goliath challenged David's people. 'Send your best to fight me!'
David saw the giant and felt scared, but his bravery was stronger. 'I will fight him!'
David went to a stream and picked five smooth stones for his slingshot.
King Saul offered his armor to David. 'No, I’m not used to them,' said David.
The Israelites watched as little David walked towards the giant with just his slingshot.
Goliath laughed. 'Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?' he bellowed.
But David was not afraid. 'The battle is the Lord's!' he shouted back.
David swung his slingshot. One stone flew fast and hit Goliath's forehead.
The giant fell with a thunderous crash! Everyone was shocked.
The Israelites cheered for David. The little shepherd boy had saved them.
David showed that courage and faith are stronger than size and strength.
