"I, David, youngest son of Jesse, am having a rather unusual day today....Normally I am taking care of my father's sheep.... But today I find myself at the battle field in the Valley of Elah facing a giant named Goliath.....I now realise that my time as shepherd has prepared me for today.... For I have had to protect the sheep from a lion and a bear.... There is not too much difference between a lion, a bear or a giant.... They are all big and loud.... So they are easy targets..... Moreover, though this giant in front of me comes with his sword and spear and javelin against me, his weaponry is no match against the Name of the Lord Almighty.....And today he and the Philistine army will be defeated."....Please read the typed out attachment when David, the youngest son of Jesse, declares to the giant Goliath that the battle belongs to the Lord....

David, the youngest son of Jesse, is confident that he will be able to overcome the giant Goliath because he comes against the enemy in the Name of the Lord as you can read in I Samuel 17:45-48

David said to the Philistine, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin. But I come against you in the Name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, who you have defied. This day the Lord will hand you over to me and I'll strike you down and cut off your head. Today I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. All these gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saved for the battle is the Lord's and He will give all of you into our hands." As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly to the battle to meet him."

David, the youngest son of Jesse, describes in no uncertain terms what will happen next to the giant Goliath and the Philistine army.
