Synopsis: David and Goliath, written by Barbara Shook Hazen, retells the familiar Biblical story of the young shepherd David and the giant Philistine warrior Goliath. When Goliath challenges the Israelites to send out a champion to fight him, the soldiers are frightened by his enormous size and strength. David, however, believes that with courage and faith he can face the giant. Armed with only his shepherd's sling and five smooth stones, David volunteers to confront Goliath.

Despite being much smaller and less experienced than the heavily armed warrior, David refuses to be intimidated. He uses his sling to strike Goliath in the forehead with a stone, bringing the giant down and defeating him. The story emphasizes courage, faith, and determination, showing how David's confidence and resourcefulness allow him to overcome an opponent who appears overwhelmingly powerful.
