David and Goliath: Lesson Nine

One stone was enough when God was in it.

David took one stone, slung it, and it sank into Goliath's forehead. He fell on his face to the earth.

1 Samuel 17:49 (KJV): And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.

David prevailed with a sling and a stone, and there was no sword in his hand.

1 Samuel 17:50 (KJV): So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.

Then David ran, took Goliath's own sword, and cut off his head.

1 Samuel 17:51 (KJV): Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.
