Goliath looked at David with disgust. He saw that David was only a handsome, healthy boy.
Jesse sent someone to get his youngest son. This son was a good-looking, healthy young man. He was very handsome. The Lord said to Samuel, “Get up and anoint him. He is the one.”
Saul answered, “You can’t go out and fight against this Philistine. You’re not even a soldier! Goliath has been fighting in wars since he was a boy.”
Pride is the first step toward destruction. Proud thoughts will lead you to defeat.
So Ben-Hadad said, “They might be coming to fight or they might be coming to ask for peace. Capture them alive.”
The Philistine slowly walked closer and closer to David. Goliath’s helper walked in front of him, carrying a large shield.
