Saul was almost 60 years old. Maybe his dad didn't want to send his own son into certain death. Twice a day this monstrous Leviathan named Goliath bellowed out his uncouth utterances. Twice a day God's troops ran and hid in terrible fear. Like Goliath, the filth produced by today's entertainment industry is daily eroding away our faith in God.
Moral values are at an all time low.
Goliath was an experienced, fully equipped killing machine. He was three feet taller than Tall Saul. It took one man just to carry Goliath's enormous man-size shield. Saul's troops were about as zealous as road kill to get up and fight Goliath. Despite the generous offer by king Saul of fame, fortune, and a fair maiden and a life-time income tax exemption, no one moved.
