FOLLOWING THEIR LEADER’S EXAMPLE

A story that illustrates the Law of the Picture is that of King David of ancient Israel. Just about everyone has heard the story of David and Goliath. When the armies of the Philistines faced off against King Saul and the people of Israel, Goliath, a large, powerful professional warrior, laid out a challenge. He said he’d fight Israel’s greatest champion in a winner-take-all battle. And who stepped forward to accept the challenge? Not Saul, the mighty king, or any of his seasoned veterans. It was David, a lowly shepherd boy, who stood to face him. Using a sling, he hurled a rock at Goliath and knocked him out. Then he cut Goliath’s head off with the warrior’s own sword.

We all identify with a story like that because we like to cheer for the underdog. But many people don’t know the rest of the story. David grew up to be a warrior and eventually became king. Along the way, he raised up a group of warriors who were called his “mighty men.” No fewer than five of them also became giant killers, just like their leader. The example set by David taught his followers how to become great warriors and even giant killers.
