◎ Introduction
: The Philistines, who have been tormenting Israel since the time of the Judges, were Israel's greatest enemies even during Saul's reign.
※ At this time, Saul had already been rejected by God for repeated disobedience, and David had been anointed as king instead.
※ The Philistines insulted Israel with Goliath and sent a man from Israel to fight them.
Let's decide the victory or defeat of the war.
※ In this situation, David comes forward and says that David will deal with the Gentiles who insult God and his people in the name of God.
This battle was a battle between faith and unbelief, and at the same time, it was an event that revealed that God was with David to all Israel.
1. David goes out to fight Goliath (38-47)
2. David defeats Goliath with God's power (45-58)

※ When Saul sent David out to the battlefield, he put on a bronze helmet, armor, and a sword.
(human will)
※ David took off all worldly clothes. Take what you have written and use it to the power of God
Relying on him, he went to the Philistines (staff and slingshot).
One). Goliath's reaction to David
① contempt
: Explains the reason, saying, “He is young and red and has a beautiful appearance.”
② Curse in the name of their gods
: “Did you consider me a dog and come to me with a stick?” In anger, he cursed David in the name of the gods he served.
(3) He promised to kill David and give it to the birds and beasts.
: At that time, in order to expose the shame of a defeated country and give fear to that country, the dead were not buried.
It was left unattended to become food for animals.
2). David's reaction to Goliath
※ Goliath's words did not shrink at all, but rather showed a confident faith.
It shows that it is God who fights Goliath.
① Fight in the name of the God of the Israeli army that you insult
: It went to “the name of God”.
David was convinced that the weapons of the world were useless before the name of God.
② Jehovah delivered Goliath into David’s hand
: David was confident that he would defeat Goliath.
He was not afraid or withdrawn, but instead said that Goliath would become food for birds and beasts.
③ War belongs to the Lord: War is not a matter of swords and spears.
: The victory or defeat of war belongs only to the Lord, so an uncircumcised Goliath who insulted the Lord of hosts cannot defeat David.
