An Application
David was brave & courageous to explicitly defy Goliath to his face. He wasn't messing around, he promised death to both Goliath and the entire Philistine army. No negotiation attempts first. His confidence in God alone as savior was crystal clear, and concern for God's reputation was his primary motivation. He didn't waste time talking bad about nor to Goliath, and he didn't use bad language. Respectful would be too strong a word, but he wasn't cocky in speech.
Connect the Dots
Here's a link
to photo of what that area looked like. / 1SA 17:15 is evidence this story was after the previoius one, even though it's not clear in the text that Saul recognized David in 1SA 17:33. In 1SA 17:55 Saul and Abner had simply forgotten who David's father was, not that they didn't recognize him. / Compare 1SA 17:28 and 16:6-7.
