ONE SLING SHOT WILL DO
PART V
"I, David, am the youngest son of my father Jesse... I usually take care of his flock of sheep... However, he has asked me to visit my brothers... They are soldiers in the Israeli army... My brothers are, therefore, now in the Valley of Elah where the armies are gathered.... My father has become concerned about my brothers' well being.... So he has asked me to see them to make sure they are safe and well despite the conflict that is raging... I am on my way to them... I wonder what scene I will see when I get there... I may well arrive at the time today's battle will begin... I am not a soldier so I am not entirely sure what takes place at the beginning of each battle... But I do believe that each site shouts the war cry before they take their position.... I hope to have the opportunity to greet my brothers... So I can pass on to them the supplies my father gave me for them.".... Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn that Jesse's youngest son, David, sets out to meet his brothers who are in the Israeli army that is fighting against the Philistine army...

PART V
At Jesse's direction, his youngest son David sets off for the camp where the Israeli army is stationed, to visit his brothers, who are soldiers as you can read in 1 Samuel 17:20-22
Early in the morning David left the flock with a shepherd, loaded up and set out, as Jesse had directed. He reached the camp as the army was going out to its battle positions, shouting the war cry. Israel and the Philistines were drawing up their lines facing each other. David left his things with the keeper of the supplies, ran to the battle lines and greeted his brothers.
When David gets to the battle field, he already finds his brothers in position to fight so he quickly goes to them to greet them.
