Analysis Of ' The Lord Of The Flies '

In 1 samuel 17, David showed he had faith in God because he wasn’t a trained , but he still fought. David told king saul, “Master,” said David, “don’t give up hope. I’m ready to go and fight this Philistine.” ( 1 Samuel 17:32) This verse is saying he is willing to do anything for god and that he is not afraid to fight for God. This evidence shows that he trustes God and is willing to fight. With help from the Lord , David won even though he was only a shepherd boy.

He was able to speak the Word and the Word became quick and sharp as a two-edged sword. “Then said David to the Philistine, you come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: but I come to you in the name of Yahweh of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day Yahweh will deliver you into my hand; and I will strike you, and take your head from you; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. And all this assembly shall know that Yahweh saves not with sword and spear: for the battle is of Yahweh, and He will give you into our hands”. (1st Samuel

The Philistine Army prepared for the upcoming war against the Israelites. On opposite sides of a steep valley, both armies camped facing each other. Goliath, a formidable giant who plumbed over nine feet tall and kept on a full suit of armor, emerged out for 40 days, consecutively. Everyone was terrified of him, but only one was not, David, one of Jesse’s sons. In the story of David and Goliath, the text states, “So David volunteered to fight Goliath” (paragraph 4).

In the classic story of David and Goliath, David-a small, agile fighter- battles Goliath-a very large "monster" of a human. No one expected David to win, as he was much smaller than Goliath. All were in shock when David fights Goliath using projectiles, yet it worked. "Then he reaches into his shepherd's bag for a stone, and at that point no one watching from the the other side of the valley would consider David's victory improbable. David was a slinger and slingers beat infantry, hands down" Gladwell continues, "Goliath had as much chance with David as any Bronze Age warrior with a sword had against a modern day soldier with forty five automatic pistol" (26). The dual not only reveals the disparity between power dynamics, this is given because of the size difference they have. But, society still make this mistake

When David arrived at the battle field, he was surprised to see the men fearfully hiding in the shadows to escape the giant. Rightfully confused at the sight, David interrogated the Israelite soldiers and was disappointed when he concluded that the Israelites were cowards. David was a fearless man who continually and significantly depended on God as his protector and provider. He quickly confronted King Saul concerning the matter and came to a solution in which he would fight Goliath. His inaptitude was apparent but his innate sense of courage was inscrutable. Reluctantly, King Saul complied and after much debate, agreed that David would face the giant with nothing but a sling shot and five stones. David approached the battlefield and with one motion, flung the sling around quickly. The stone then slipped from the cloth and flew through the air at an incredible speed. With astonishing precision, the stone hit the monster’s forehead with great impact, causing the skull to shatter and cave in on itself killing the beast immediately. Then, standing upon the giant’s dead corps, David sliced the beast head off using the philistine’s sword. Upon seeing this, the philistines fled in a stampede from the battle field, leaving God’s chosen people as

Goliath laughs at the size of David while David is confident with God by his side. David then uses his sling-shot to launch a stone at Goliath’s head which knocks him down on his face. The giant fell allowing David to take his sword and behead Goliath with it. David took advantage of Goliaths mistakes. He underestimated David’s ability and failed to move out of the way of the rock. If you are prepared for all obstacles and keep an open mind you are more likely to come out victorious. David’s own intellect and knowledge of his own abilities made Goliath the smaller, but stronger opponent.

In the story of David and Goliath, David faces a formidable enemy who is much larger and

taunting the army, and saw the men were afraid of the Giant. So David volunteered to face off

David and Goliath is the age old story that began numerous tales of the underdog coming out on top and defeating the giant that stands before him. The traditional story involves David, a shepherd boy with no formal training in combat, and Goliath, a Philistine giant who was the most feared and powerful warrior among his camp. In a battle between the two, it is traditionally taught that David faced Goliath with great courage and prevailed over him with just a sling, a stone, and, most importantly, the power of God. However, this account is believed to have happened differently by various scholars, groups of people, and individuals as well. Questions have arisen as to whether David truly did fight Goliath or if it was another soldier as well

David Battling Goliath is a huge silver plate made in Constantinople 629-630 CE. The plate dictates three moments in David’s life with Goliath. This piece of Byzantine art work is a stamp with a raised surface and a diameter of about 49 cm. the plate shows several person all proportional according the episode shown. The plate has very detailed person from the clothing to the toning of the muscles of each person. All of the plate is silver with minor marks on 2 edges of the coin, which could possibly be tar. At first glance David is shown to be an underdog as he is only equipped with a stone in a cloth unlike Goliath who has a full body armor and a shield with a sword and spear. However, is the last episode in the plate, despite all of the

The Philistine armed force was at war with the Israelite. The two armed forces camped for the battle to come at opposite sides of the Steep valley. A Philistine giant named Goliath went to the Israelite consistently, taunting and challenging the Israelite to battle him. The entire Israelite armed force was frightened by him. One day David, the son of Jesse, volunteered to battle Goliath. David who was a Shepherd, he carried nothing else than a slingshot and a sack loaded with rocks. As Goliath was moving toward to David, David reached for a stone and threw it towards the Giant. The Stone hit Goliath and he fell on the ground. David then took the giant's sword and slaughtered him. At the point when the Israelite saw the giant

Goliath must have been very slow when moving, his size, the weight of his armor and weapons, his age, and probable health status, and the heat of wearing heavy armor for such a large man must have been tiring. There’s a good chance by his statement, “Come down to me.,” and his gigantism that his eyesight may have been poor. He also made reference to sticks when David only had one which may have been a hint that the giant was seeing double. The other odd fact was that a shield bearer led out in front of the giant, why didn’t he carry his own shield into battle? It seems as though Goliath would not have any chance unless David got close enough for the Giant to battle him in hand to hand

The story of David and Goliath is a well-known story from Old Testament that provides imagery of bravery and intellect overcoming brute force. The story goes that Jerusalem was being threatened by an enemy army led by a giant, Goliath. To settle the war without mass death, Goliath challenges one soldier to a one-on-one combat. Not one person would accept this challenge other than a young shepherd boy named David. Armed only with stones and a sling, David defeated the larger and stronger Goliath, after which he cut off Goliath’s head and delivering it to the King. David’s heroism saved the city from a terrible battle, thereby protecting the people’s civic and religious rights.

When he gets there, he sees a giant of a man named Goliath come out from the Palestinian camp and taunt the Israelites, telling them to send a man to fight him. This has been happening for forty days. David convinces King Saul of Israel to let him fight the man. Saul offers him armor and weapons, but David is not used to them and therefore uncomfortable with them on. He rejects the armor and instead leaves with only a sack of five rocks and a slingshot.

King David is known as one of the greatest kings that ever lived. He started out as lowly Sheppard boy to become one of the greatest kings of biblical times. Before David became King of Israel he herded his father’s sheep with his life in the fields; and was said to have killed a lion and a bear protecting them. The Old Testament prophet Samuel anointed David to become King Israel while Saul was still the king of Israel; because Saul was the King that the people wanted and he disobeyed God. David raise to fame began with him stepping up to face the giant Philistine Goliath; when King Saul seems to be fear of the giant. Smith (1933) tell us that,
