Portal:Bible/Featured chapter/1 Samuel 17

The Philistines rally against Israel, and Goliath of Gath steps out and suggests that the Israelites send a champion to fight him. David, who is bringing provisions, persuades Saul to let him challenge Goliath. David takes down Goliath with a single stone from a sling and kills him with Goliath's own sword, and the Philistines flee.
