He feels within him at this moment, “If nobody else will deal with this Philistine difficulty, I must do so for I cannot live and see God opposed. When the bear came, and was about to rob him of one of his lambs, he did not say to himself, “Have I a call to kill that bear?” Not he but he killed him, and then he knew he was called to do it. When he kept his sheep and the lion came, David did not raise the question whether he could kill the lion: he killed him, and then the question was settled.
It is going to be done, done soon, and done without any particular display. It is driven in upon David’s devout heart that this blasphemous mouth must be shut, and God’s name and God’s people must be clear of such a brutal enemy.Ībout the stilling of this enemy and avenger David has no enquiry to make. But it is imperative that some hand should silence that hillock of proud flesh. If any man in the camp will meet this huge man-mountain, David will not stand in his way he is not so covetous of glory as to deprive a more deserving person of these huge materials for renown. David enquires whether somebody or other is not going to batter the brazen champion.
Somebody must put him down, and so dispose of him that none shall ever dare again to do the like. This abominable blasphemer must be silenced. When David finds himself in the camp, and when he hears Goliath of Gath pouring forth his blasphemies against Jehovah, and defying Jehovah’s people, he has no thought of having been mistaken in his former lofty adoration, he entertains no notion of adopting a lower style but he inwardly burns with indignation against the infamous reviler. He starts! A holy rage is upon him! Yes, it is true he hears Jehovah blasphemed! How can it be? The youth’s holy soul is undergoing a new experience, he is bringing his whole life to bear upon it he reaches the conclusion that as bears and lions die when they meddle with sheep, so must Goliath fall now that he dares to attack the Lord and his people. It had not occurred to him in his meditations that base men would dare to challenge the infinite majesty of God, or that proud adversaries would come forward and defy the chosen people of the Most High and now that he hears the defiance and beholds the challenge, all his blood is up. As you may have spied far up among the ramparts of the mountains a solitary lake, whose one office it is to mirror the face of heaven, so had David’s hallowed life become the reflection of the light and glory of the Lord of hosts. He had grown into an adoring familiarity with the Most High, so that to him the name of the one only living and true God was a deep and solemn joy. Throughout many a solitary day he had kept his father’s flock among the lone hills of Judah, and had worshipped the Unseen but Ever-present Lord. David said moreover, The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.”- 1 Sam., xvii. The game will surely satisfy and maybe even inspire players to reflect on their choices in real life and the consequences it entailed on their loved ones.“Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
