Question: Why did David want Goliath’s "head"? (1 Samuel 17:54)


See Answer: http://ebible.com/answers/37585?ori=664697


First, see the big picture from Harold Wilminton's alliterated outline:


B. The action (1 Sam 17:12-15, 1 Sam 17:54)

  1. The care package (1 Sam 17:12-15, 1 Sam 17:19): David's father instructs him to carry food to three of his brothers in Saul's army.

  2. The criticism (1 Sam 17:20-30): When David arrives at the site of the impending battle, he is rebuked by his oldest brother for asking why Goliath is allowed to insult Israel's army.

  3. The concern (1 Sam 17:31-40)
    a. Saul's reservation (1 Sam 17:31-33): David volunteers to fight Goliath, but Saul is afraid that David will be no match for the Philistine giant.
    b. David's reassurance (1 Sam 17:34-37): David tells Saul that as a shepherd he killed lions and bears who threatened his sheep. He promises to do the same with Goliath! Saul agrees to let David fight.
    c. David's refusal (1 Sam 17:38-40): Saul offers David his own royal armor, but David refuses it, choosing to use his sling and stones instead.

  4. The contempt (1 Sam 17:41-47): Goliath taunts the Israelites and curses David by the names of his gods.
    a. Goliath's reviling (1 Sam 17:41-44): "Come over here, and I'll give your flesh to the birds and wild animals!"
    b. David's response (1 Sam 17:45-47): "Today the LORD will conquer you, and I will kill you and cut off your head."

  5. The clash (1 Sam 17:48-51): David hurls a stone at Goliath and hits him in the forehead, causing him to fall down. David takes Goliath's sword and cuts off Goliath's head.

  6. The conquest (1 Sam 17:51-54): When the Philistine army sees that Goliath is dead, they flee. The Israelites chase them and destroy them.

What does it mean to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly?

Question: What does it mean to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly?

See Answer: http://ebible.com/answers/47657?ori=664697


Ultimately, Micah 6:8 is not a checklist for earning God's favor, but a beautiful description of the life that flows from receiving it. We can only do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly because Christ first did justice for us, showed us mercy, and humbled Himself to death on a cross. When we trust in Him, His Spirit works these qualities in us, not as a means of salvation, but as the joyful fruit of it.
