From Timeless Bible Stories · 10:42
Show by HustleStudios Podcast Network
David and Goliath — the story of 1 Samuel 17, told by host Joe on Timeless Bible Stories: a shepherd boy, five smooth stones, and the giant who defied Israel for forty days in the Valley of Elah.What happens in David and Goliath? In 1 Samuel 17, the Philistine champion Goliath of Gath — six cubits and a span tall, wearing bronze armour of five thousand shekels — challenges Israel to single combat, morning and evening, for forty days. David, the youngest of the eight sons of Jesse of Bethlehem, arrives at the camp with bread and cheese for his brothers, hears the challenge, refuses King Saul's armour, takes five smooth stones from the brook and his shepherd's sling, and defeats Goliath with a single stone, declaring "the battle is the LORD's" (1 Samuel 17:47). This Timeless Bible Stories episode, published November 14, 2026, retells the full account — the Valley of Elah, Eliab's rebuke, Saul's court, the lion and the bear — in about ten minutes, warm and family-friendly for children, parents, and listeners of all ages, and closes with a simple lesson for the giants in our own valleys.Chapters:0:00 Welcome to the Valley of Elah0:45 Goliath of Gath1:30 The Giant's Challenge2:16 A Shepherd's Errand3:00 David Hears the Giant3:41 Who Is This Philistine?4:34 Before the King5:12 The Lion and the Bear5:59 Armour That Did Not Fit6:39 Five Smooth Stones7:27 I Come in the Name of the Lord8:10 One Stone8:56 The Lesson of the Valley10:17 A Word of ThanksOur sponsor: Willow turns your voice into polished text in any app. Emails, messages, docs, AI prompts, without the typing.
