For forty days he shouts his terms, terrorizing Saul and the army. David is sent to deliver provisions to his brothers and return with a report from the battlefield where fear holds everyone back.","046 David and Goliath  \n1 Samuel 17  \nEnglish Spiritual  \n046 David and Goliath  \nEnglish  \n© 2020 Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc.  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

The Philistines stood on a ridge ready to fight. The Israelite soldiers stood across the valley on another ridge.  \nA Philistine champion named Goliath stepped forward from the Philistine camp. Goliath was more than nine feet tall and wore heavy bronze armor. His huge spear had an iron spearhead that weighed fifteen pounds.  \nGoliath shouted across the valley to the Israelites,“I am a Philistine, and you are servants of Saul. Choose one man to come down here and fight me! If he kills me, then we will be your servants. But if I kill him, you will be our servants!”  \nEvery morning and evening for forty days, Goliath shouted this challenge to the Israelites. And each time Saul and the Israelites were terrified.  \nNow, Jesse’s three oldest sons had joined Saul’s army to fight the Philistines. So Jesse told his youngest son, David,“Take food to your brothers and their captain and bring back areport.”  \nWhen David arrived at the Israelite camp, he was surprised that everyone there was afraid to fight the giant.","cbCainr6Oli8i0wS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainr6Oli8i0wS","pdf",3351221,24,"English","en",105,"# 1 Samuel 17\n## The Philistines and the battlefield stand-off\n## Goliath’s challenge for forty days\n## Saul’s terror and David’s errand","[{\"question\":\"What confrontation is described in 1 Samuel 17?\",\"answer\":\"The Philistines gather to fight the Israelites, and Goliath challenges them to send a single man to fight him.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does Goliath’s challenge last forty days?\",\"answer\":\"Each morning and evening for forty days, Goliath repeats the same challenge, and the Israelites respond with fear and hesitation.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is David sent to the Israelite camp?\",\"answer\":\"Jesse tells David to take food to his brothers and their captain and to bring back a report from the battlefield.\"}]",1784126672,37,{"code":4,"msg":29,"data":30},"ok",{"site_id":23,"language":22,"slug":31,"title":13,"keywords":32,"description":14,"schema_data":33,"social_meta":84,"head_meta":86,"extra_data":88,"updated_unix":26},"david-and-goliath","",{"@graph":34,"@context":83},[35,52,66],{"@type":36,"itemListElement":37},"BreadcrumbList",[38,42,46,49],{"item":39,"name":40,"@type":41,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":43,"name":44,"@type":41,"position":45},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":41,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":41,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/david-and-goliath/80148/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":22,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":60,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":61,"interactionStatistic":62},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":39,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-15",true,{"@type":63,"interactionType":64,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":65},"ViewAction",{"@type":67,"mainEntity":68},"FAQPage",[69,75,79],{"name":70,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":72},"What confrontation is described in 1 Samuel 17?","Question",{"text":73,"@type":74},"The Philistines gather to fight the Israelites, and Goliath challenges them to send a single man to fight him.","Answer",{"name":76,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":77},"Why does Goliath’s challenge last forty days?",{"text":78,"@type":74},"Each morning and evening for forty days, Goliath repeats the same challenge, and the Israelites respond with fear and hesitation.",{"name":80,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":81},"Why is David sent to the Israelite camp?",{"text":82,"@type":74},"Jesse tells David to take food to his brothers and their captain and to bring back a report from the battlefield.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":85,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":87,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":23},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":90},[91,94,98,102,107,112,117,122,127,130,134],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":92,"slug":93},90,"story-novel",{"id":45,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":95,"show_sort_weight":96,"slug":97},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":99,"show_sort_weight":100,"slug":101},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":103,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":104,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":106},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":108,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":113,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":114,"show_sort_weight":115,"slug":116},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":118,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":129},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":131,"slug":133},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":135,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":137},19,"General","general"]
