David becomes famous for slaying the giant goliath.

true or false?

True. As a very young man, David had been anointed by the prophet Samuel to be Israel's next king, because King Saul was not remaining faithful to the Lord. David was the youngest son of Jesse the Ephrathite, with seven older brothers. The three oldest brothers were in the army and at the battlefront where Israel was being confronted by the Philoistine army. An enormous warrrior, Goliath of Gath, was spewing obscenities and insults at Israel's army and challenging them to send forh a man to challenge him in one on one combat. No one would step forward. David had gone to the battlefront to bring food to his brothers and to the army's commander. When David heard about Goliath, he volunteered to go and fight him. David said that as a shepherd he had battled wild animals and God protected him. " This uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them," David said, "because he has defied the armies of the living God. 37 The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine" (1 Samuel 17:36-37). David went out to the battle without armor, and killed Goliath with a slingshot stone to the head. He then cut off Goliath's head with Goliaths' own sword, and Israel won the ensuing battle in a rout.
