The Bible story
David and Goliath
The Philistine giant Goliath challenged Israel’s army for forty days, and no one dared to fight him. Young David trusted the LORD, chose five smooth stones and his sling, and went out to meet him. His first stone struck Goliath on the forehead, and the giant fell.
And David took his staff in his hand, selected five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag. And with his sling in hand, he approached the Philistine.
— 1 Samuel 17:40 (BSB)
