How Did Saul Win The Israelites Hero
Saul and the Israelites drew up their battle line to meet the Philistines. The Philistines occupied one hill and The Israelites on the other, with the valley between them. Goliath was the champion that was to fight for the Philistines. Goliath was 9 feet tall and he had a bronze helmet on his head. Goliath had about 5000 shekels of armor that he was wearing which is 125 pounds. The blade of his spear was 15 pounds! Goliath shouted to all of Israel and said that he was a Philistine and the servants of Saul were to choose someone to fight against him. If the Israelites hero won the Philistines will serve the Israelites and if Goliath won then the Israelites would become subjects to them. The Israelites were very afraid. The Philistine Goliath stood before the Israelite army for 40 …show more content…
David believed if God saved him from the lion and the bear then God for would save him from the Goliath. Saul said to David that God be with him. David was not used to all the armor that David had put on him so he took everything off. He took a stick in his hand, chose five smooth stones from a stream, and held a sling in his hand. When Goliath saw David he looked at him with disgust. Goliath said “Do you think I’m a dog and you can come at me with a stick?” He used his gods’ names to curse David. David said “ I would come at Goliath in the name of the Lord of heaven’s armies and you have spoken out against him. Today the Lord will give you to me. I’ll kill you, and cut off your head.” As Goliath came near to attack him, David took a stone from his pouch and put it into his sling and slung it. The stone hit the Philistine on the forehead and Goliath fell facedown on the ground. David killed Goliath with just a stone and a sling! David lastly, took Goliath’s sword and cut of his head. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they turned and ran. The Israelites chased them and many of the Philistines

    In 1 Samuel 17, David shows how he has trust in God and he knows that he will win. In the beginning of 1 Samuel 17, no one will fight Goliath, so David steps up and says that he will. His brother told him that he was stupid thinking that he could go and kill Goliath. David told him that by the grace of God he will be able to defeat Goliath. His brother knew that he was right and got him ready to fight Goliath. Once he was ready, he approached the Philistine. Goliath told him that he was small, and that he would kill David easily. David replied, “You come at me with sword and spear and battle-ax. I come at you in the name of God-of-the-Angel-Armies, the God of Israel’s troops, whom you curse and mock.” (1 Samuel 17:45)…

    2 Samuel 1-10 Analysis

    • 677 Words
    • 3 Pages

    1 Samuel 31, 2 Samuel 1-10 – First Samuel ends with Saul’s death. Rather than facing the torment of the Philistines, he falls on his own sword, but the first chapter of 2 Samuel gives a different account. An Amalekite reports to David that he killed Saul after Saul asked him to run him through with the sword. Either way, Saul is now dead, and David is made king of Judah, while Ishbaal (Saul’s son) supposedly reigns over the rest of Israel. Abner supports Ishbaal at first, but after having been accused of sleeping with one of Saul’s concubines, Abner turns to support David. Before he can do anything to help David’s conquest, Abner is killed by Joab (commander of David’s forces) for killing Joab’s brother Asahel. Ishbaal is also assassinated by Rechab and Baanah, who are apparently motivated by the thought of reward from David for their service, but they are killed by David as a result. With no other leader to turn to, the rest of Israel accepts David as their king at Hebron. After that, David enjoys much military success against the enemies of Israel (Philistines, Moabites, Edomites,…

    Malcolm Gladwell recounts the biblical story of David and Goliath in order to provide a solid foundation for the rest of the novel. The seedling of an underdog being able to defeat a goliath is planted into the reader’s head, and the seedling continues to develop as Gladwell adds more stories. Also, it begins to convince the reader to think outside of the box, “It never occurred to him (Goliath) that the battle would be fought on anything other than those terms, and he prepared accordingly” (7), because David used a tactic that Goliath was not prepared for, he triumphed. This theme continues throughout the stories as people use unconventional strategies to achieve what they desire. For example, Gary Cohn obtains a stockbroker job by jumping into a cab and lying. Another theme is coming out on top, despite shortcomings that the champion might have.…

    Saul was threatened so much that Saul had plotted to kill David. David learned of this and fled to escape the king's wrath. In hiding David further cemented his popularity among the Israelites by "Beginning as an outlaw, with a price on his head, David led the life of a Robin Hood on the desert frontier of his country (Judah). He became the leader and organizer of other outlaws and refugees; and, according to the Bible, ". . . everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, gathered to him; and he became captain over them." This group progressively ingratiated itself with the local population by protecting them from other bandits or, in case they had been raided, by pursuing the raiders and restoring the possessions that had been taken" (Britannica). David gained his popularity from this and eventually lead him to being selected as…

    Beowulf’s battle with Grendel is carried out by Beowulf sneaking up on Grendel when he is killing people in the meadhall. Beowulf struggles to kill Grendel in the beginning but eventually kills him by ripping his arm off. Beowulf is even able to boast to the Danesman that he did this without a weapon. Beowulf begins to prepare for rest from his victory and states, “I hold me no meaner in matters of prowess, in warlike achievements, than Grendel does himself; Hence I seek not with sword-edge to sooth him to slumber, of life to bereave him, though well I am able. No battle-skill has he, that blows he should strike me, to shatter my shield, though sure he is mighty in strife and destruction.” Beowulf boasts about his victory. Beowulf then goes to fight Grendel’s mother and the dragon. All of these fights were fought without anybody helping him; he beat all of his opponents on his own. While Gilgamesh has help from Enkidu.
