## Resource

1 Samuel 17:1-58. We find that the Philistines, one of the main enemies of Israel in the OT, have drawn up for battle against Israel. Saul was king of Israel, and he had his army lined up ready for battle. They stood on either side of a valley, ready to fight. Then, out from the camp of the Philistines a champion named Goliath of Gath. He was a real giant! And the Israelites were terrified. Soon, David hears and sees Goliath himself and decides to face him. But what does this teach us? Why is this event recorded in the Bible? Because we also were in need of a champion.
