King David and His Songs - A Story of the Psalms

Product Description

"They've sent a mere boy to fight against me!" roared the giant Goliath, as he caught sight of young David across the valley. "A boy with nothing but a shepherd's staff in his hand! Am I just a dog?"

David looked at the nine-foot giant. "You come to me with a sword and with a spear," he called out fearlessly, "but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, which you have defied!"

The giant bared his teeth. "You say this to me?"

"Yes," called out David. "And much more. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will cut off your head. And I will give the bodies of your men to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth: that all the world may know that there is a God in Israel."

This was too much for Goliath. With giant strides he came across the valley, while the armies of Israel and of the Philistines watched with bated breath. What was David going to do? Had lie made a foolish mistake? Was God going to come to his aid?

This book describes what happened next. It also tells how David had to flee for his life, how he became a leader of armies, how lie became king-as well as how God inspired him to write many holy songs, or Psalms. In short, this is the great story of the little shepherd boy whom God raised up to be one of the greatest kings in history-and an ancestor of His own Divine Son. Ages 10+
