He was a giant and nobody in the camp of Israel wanted to defy him. Then one day, while David was in the camp on an errand for his father Jesse, he heard what the Philistine champion was saying and grew indignant at the way this heathen was talking about his God. So he decided to take him up on his offer and challenge him to one-on-one combat in the valley. In this Valley, Goliath would learn that the God of Israel, our God, is stronger than any army.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.
