A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 15 is found in chapter 17 of 1 Samuel. David arrives at the camp, sent by his father to bring provisions to his brothers. Upon hearing Goliath’s challenge, he is astonished that a Philistine can challenge the army of the living God. His brother Eliab interprets his presence negatively, but David remains concerned about the offense against God. The contrast is fundamental: David does not begin by thinking about his own glory, but about the Lord’s honor. The theological motivation precedes his military action.
