Study Bible

Book ◦ Chapter

And David said to Saul,
David, the youngest son of Jesse, is introduced as a shepherd boy who has been anointed by Samuel to be the future king of Israel. His conversation with Saul, the current king, highlights the divine favor and courage that sets David apart. This moment foreshadows David's future leadership and his reliance on God rather than human strength.

“Let no man’s heart fail
David addresses the fear that has gripped the Israelite army due to Goliath's challenge. The phrase "heart fail" indicates a loss of courage and hope. In biblical terms, the heart is often seen as the center of will and emotion. David's words are meant to inspire confidence and faith in God, contrasting with the fear that has paralyzed the Israelites.

on account of this Philistine.
The Philistines were a significant threat to Israel during this period, often depicted as a powerful and technologically advanced enemy. Goliath, their champion, represents the epitome of this threat. David's reference to Goliath as "this Philistine" diminishes the giant's stature, emphasizing his identity as an enemy of God's people rather than an insurmountable obstacle.

Your servant will go and fight him!”
David's declaration of willingness to fight Goliath is a profound act of faith and humility. By referring to himself as "your servant," David acknowledges his position under Saul's authority while also demonstrating his readiness to serve God's purposes. This act prefigures Christ, who came as a servant to fulfill God's will. David's confidence is rooted not in his own abilities but in his trust in God's deliverance, a theme echoed throughout scripture, particularly in the Psalms attributed to him.

Teaching Points

Courage Rooted in Faith
David's courage was not based on his own strength but on his faith in God. We are called to face our own "giants" with a similar trust in God's power.

God's Perspective vs. Human Perspective
While Saul and the Israelites saw an insurmountable obstacle, David saw an opportunity for God to demonstrate His power. We should seek God's perspective in our challenges.

Youth and God's Calling
David's youth did not disqualify him from being used by God. God often uses those whom the world might overlook. We should not underestimate what God can do through us, regardless of our age or status.

Encouragement in Leadership
David's words to Saul were meant to encourage and strengthen. As believers, we should seek to encourage others in their faith, especially when they face daunting challenges.

Lists and Questions

Top 10 Lessons from 1 Samuel 17

How do we reconcile the differences between 1 Chronicles 17 and 2 Samuel 7 regarding the details of God's covenant with David?

Why does 1 Samuel 13:3-4 give conflicting impressions of who actually attacked the Philistine garrison, Jonathan or Saul?

In 1 Samuel 29:3-5, why would the Philistines fear David so abruptly if Achish had trusted him for an extended time?

1 Samuel 18:20-21: Why would Saul offer his daughter Michal to David if he intended to harm him, and does this suggest inconsistencies within the narrative?

Pulpit Commentary

Verses 32, 33. - On being brought before the king, David says,Let no man's heart fail because of him,i.e. "on account of this Philistine." Literally it is "upon him," and some therefore translate "within him." The Septuagint forman reads "my lord" - "Let not my lord's heart fail within him." Probably "within him" is the best rendering of the phrase.Thou art but a youth.I.e. "a lad" (see on 1 Samuel 1:24; 2:18). It is the word applied to David's brethren in1 Samuel 16:11, and his friend must have been very enthusiastic when, in1 Samuel 16:18, he described him as a "hero of valour and a man of war."
