David

from different religious backgrounds, David and Goliath. This story is about a young man (David) who defeats a giant (Goliath) with a slingshot and a rock.

As a leader, David was outstanding. God called him a man after His own heart (1 Samuel 13:14) who would be the ruler. As king, it is interesting to note how God described him at various times. For example, in 2 Samuel 3:18, He called him “My servant David.” In 2 Samuel 7:5, he again called him His servant. These terms are repeated in 1 Chronicles 17:4 and 1 Chronicles 17:7. When David turned to God in confession, he described himself as a servant. In each of the above references the term…

Sedaris is a well-known comedic author, and his essays tend to be about one subject at face value, but an entirely different one between the lines. This clever distinction allows the reader to enjoy two stories at a time. Given this,…

Author, Malcolm Gladwell, in chapter 4 of his book titled, David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants, challenges the common definition of the word “disadvantage” by using evidence about people who are dyslexic.

Gladwell opens the chapter…

Not only is David running away for his life in 1 Samuel 25, but he also has to deal with people who do not respect him and challenge his honor. The man named Nabal is just one example of someone who does not believe David has honor, which he displays and then surprisingly, his household does not act in accordance with his position. Why do Nabal’s men and wife Abigail go behind Nabal’s back to appease David, when that is the exact opposite of what Nabal does as the head of the household? The main…
