David Used Stones

By Lisa Ausman

As a young shepherd in ancient times, David protected his flock from lions and bears with a sling and a stone. So when he confronted Goliath, a large, lumbering figure in the Elah Valley, he used his “slinging” skills to his advantage to stop the giant warrior and save his people. His size may have initially appeared to be a disadvantage to the crowd of onlooking warriors who viewed Goliath’s 6’ 9’ inch frame from a distance, because everyone presumed the two would fight a hand to hand battle.

But that’s where everyone including Goliath made a fatal error in judgment. David used his strengths to overcome his giant weakness.

According to Malcolm Gladwell’s newest book, David and Goliath, David’s stone may have been equal to a modern day “bullet” and it was far superior to Goliath’s bare hands.
