When a lion attacked the sheep, David fought the attacker and rescued the lamb. God directed the prophet Samuel to anoint David as king, even though Saul might kill him. In Saul’s palace, David’s harp music calmed Saul’s fear and depression. Later, David was sent to the battlefront, where Israel faced the looming threat of the Philistine giant Goliath.","19 David the Shepherd Boy  \nWritten by Edward Hughes [www.bibleforchildren.org](www.bibleforchildren.org) 19/60  \nEnglish Story Book  \nLong ago, in the days of King Saul of Israel, a boy named David helped his seven brothers look after their father's flocks . Though he was youngest, David was a strong, brave boy who loved and trusted God. He lived in the town of Bethlehem .  \nOnce a lion attacked the flock to snatch a little lamb for supper . Young David attacked the attacker . Pulling the lamb away, he  \ngrabbed the snarling beast by its beard and killed it.  \nDavid knew God had helped him .  \nSamuel, God's prophet, was still sad that King Saul had failed God so badly.“How long will you mourn for Saul?” God scolded Samuel.“Iam sending you to Jesse . . . For I have provided Myself a king among his sons.” Jesse was David's father .  \nEven though Samuel knew King Saul might kill him for going to find another king, the prophet obeyed God.  \nWhen Samuel arrived, Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse,“The LORD has not chosen these.” That only left David, the youngest. He was out with the sheep. They brought David in . And the LORD said,“Arise, anoint him; for this is the one .”  \nIn Saul's palace, the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul and he became avery troubled man . His servants thought good music might settle Saul's mind. One of them knew a young man who played the harp well. Can you guess who that young man was? Yes, David.  \nDavid's music soothed Saul and helped him to think straight. Saul asked Jesse to let David stay in the King's service . Whenever Saul had an attack of depression or fear, David played the harp for him . It helped.  \nAfter David went home, Saul had a big battle with the Philistines . David's brothers fought in Saul's armies . Jesse sent David to the battle front to take food to his brothers and find out how they were .  \nA HUGE Philistine giant, Goliath, had scared all the Israelite soldiers .","cbCaih1se2uNmlQK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih1se2uNmlQK","pdf",2428467,1,29,"English","en",105,"# David fights the lion\n# Samuel anoints David\n# David calms Saul with music\n# David is sent to the battlefront\n# Goliath threatens Israel","[{\"question\":\"Why was David trusted despite being the youngest?\",\"answer\":\"David loved and trusted God while caring for the flock.
