David Kills Goliath

171 Now the Philistines gathered their armies for battle ; and they were gathered at Socoh which belongs to Judah , and they camped between Socoh and Azekah , in Ephes-dammim . 2 Saul and the men of Israel were gathered and camped in the valley of Elah , and drew up in battle array to encounter the Philistines . 3 The Philistines stood on the mountain on one side while Israel stood on the mountain on the other side , with the valley between them. 4 Then a champion e came out from the armies of the Philistines named Goliath , from Gath , whose height was six cubits and a span .

(Read 1 Samuel 17:1-11)

Men so entirely depend upon God in all things, that when he withdraws his help, the most valiant and resolute cannot find their hearts or hands, as daily experience shows.
