A PURPOSEFUL LIFE; OLD TESTAMENT STORIES
ONE SLING SHOT WILL DO
PART XII
"I, David, the youngest son of Jesse, have just killed the giant Goliath with a stone... I then used the giant's sword to make sure he he was really dead... My brothers and all the other soldiers watched silently when I approached Goliath earlier on... They heard him shout at me.... They heard my response to him as well...No soldiers, including my brothers, made a move...They all seemed to be frozen at the spot... They then saw me take out a stone from my bag and direct it at the giant Goliath....The next few seconds must have felt like ages for them... For I knew that my God would direct my stone in such a way that it would kill the giant.... But the Israeli soldiers were not so sure... Because they were not quite sure what to make of my weaponry. They are used to using swords and spears... But they have never used a sling and a stone to kill someone...However, they saw the giant fall down... That is when they came to life....They gave a shout... But they knew they needed to do more....It was time for them to get into action...The Philistine army needed to be defeated... That was not my task... That was for them to do....And they just knew how to go about it.".... Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn that the Israeli army pursues the Philistine army....

PART XII
The Israeli army is so encouraged when they see the giant Goliath fall down.They come back to life and act as they should be pursuing the Philistine army as you can read in 1 Samuel 17:52a
Then the men of Israel and Judah surged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath and the gates of Enron....
The Israeli army once again realises she is the army of God and is, therefore, able to defeat the Philistine army.
