First Book of Samuel Chapters 17- Second Book of Samuel Chapter 2.
Israel needed a king, since Saul had turned out to be a mess. Even though Saul did a great job at the beginning, he failed by not using a priest in a battle. So it was Samuel's turn again to go and find another king. God does have a lot of expectations in people.
As David, perfect David, he came along as just a simple harp player. Meanwhile, Saul was in great depression since he was about to be overthrowed of his throned. It must be really hard after so long, having to leave his place. If I were him, I would be furious with myself since it was Saul's only fault for not listening to God. Remember that God is very sensitive, and not listening to him may cost you your fate.
Since the Philistines wanted revenge, they brought their best fighting weapon, Goliath the giant." And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass. And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders. And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him. And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me".(1 Samuel 17:4-8)Onlly David, the harp guy,was able to defeat the giant. It is so impressive, it is if like the "water boy" in a soccer match made the last goal. David, a simple harp guy, defeating the Goliath, which by his description, he looked undefeitable.
It was a frotunate even for the people of Israel, but it was a disaster for Saul. Who knew that just a simple harp boy would become in his bitter enemy. Suddenly the water boy turned out to be Messi.
