These days we all know that David defeats Goliath. But in the passage we discuss today his brother Eliab and king Saul think he is crazy for trying. David doesn’t make snap judgements here, and exhibits some excellent leadership. We discuss why it is significant that David doesn’t fit into Saul’s armour and what we can take from that ourselves.
