Seven verses in David's own voice — the youngest son, small among his brothers, tending sheep and making music with his hands, taken by God's angel from the flock and anointed. His tall, handsome brothers pass; the Lord does not take pleasure in them. David goes out to meet the Philistine who cursed Israel's God by his idols, draws Goliath's own sword, and removes the reproach from Israel.
