David, The Soldier Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 11, 2020

Israel faced an enemy and thought they couldn't possibly defeat them. Goliath was a secret weapon, nearly ten feet tall and full of hatred for Israel. Then came a shepherd boy named David--and the rest is history.

Lions, bears, and perhaps other predators were always looking for sheep so it was up to the shepherd to protect them.
