Reading for March 17th

Read 1 Samuel 17.41-47
An element of ancient warfare involved taunting the opponent and boasting of one's own superiority.
The Philistine is distracted by David's staff (v. 43) and overlooks his real weapon, the sling.
David's reply (vv. 45-47) is religious in nature and promises retribution for the Philistine defiance of the Lord.
David does not need the Philistine arms because the Lord fights for him.
