Bible Story: (David & Goliath in - 1 Samuel 17:38-50)
- David was a shepherd for his father and took care of his father's sheep.
- At different times a lion & bear tried to kill sheep, but David killed the bear & lion instead
- When David wasn't shepherding he was writing song & singing songs to God
- One day, the Prophet Samuel anointed David as the new king
- However, David didn't immediately become the king on the throne (until God was ready)
