The king will give a big prize, his girl, and help the winner’s dad.” 26 David said, “What will be done for the man who stops this Philistine? Who is this man who does not follow God to make fun of God’s army?” ️ 27 The people told David the same prize words again. 28 Eliab heard David and got mad. He said, “Why are you here? Who has the sheep? I know you are proud. You came to watch.” 29 David said, “What did I do now? I just spoke.” ♂️ 30 David turned to others and asked again.

You are a boy. He has fought since he was a boy.” ♂️ 34 David said, “I take care of my dad’s sheep. A lion and a bear came and took a lamb.” 35 “I ran after them, hit them, and saved the lamb. When they came at me, I grabbed and hit and killed them.” ♂️✊ 36 “I killed a lion and a bear. This Philistine will be like them. He made fun of God’s army.” ➡️♂️ 37 “God saved me from the lion and the bear.

I will cut off your head. All the world will know God is in Israel.” 47 “All here will know God saves without sword or spear. The fight is God’s. He will let us win.” ✝️️ 48 Goliath moved to fight.
