Who Was King David Brave

318 Words2 Pages

David, one of the most recognizable heroes in the Bible, showed great bravery and humility at all times, as well as true faithfulness and trust in God. First of all, nobody stepped up to fight Goliath, the 6’9” Philistine giant who challenged the Israelites every day for 40 days. David, a shepherd boy, wanted to fight when nobody else will.

Through this, David showed that he was the brave one and that it didn’t matter if you were big or small: you could still make a difference. Furthermore, David didn’t need supplies, armor or weapons to fight Goliath. He has complete trust that

  • The Author's Struggle In Steelheart By Brandon Sanderson

    840 Words  | 4 Pages

    Sanderson explains how David was not going to give up, even if it means death. David was “bloodied before [Steelheart]” yet stuck out his ambitious plan and watched his plan literally go up in flames as “the fire consumed Steelheart” (Sanderson 376). This shows that David would not go down without a fight, and he would fight until it was all over to see Steelheart bleed. For David to be able to overcome this major obstacle it was not going to be easy, and he proved he was not going to give up no matter how much blood he would have to shed. David also had to believe that it was possible to overcome a problem as large as Steelheart.

Jonathan rescues David from his father, the most notable of which occur when he vows to shoot his arrows in locations that correspond with David’s level of safety. David wouldn't even be alive were it not for Jonathan’s archery skills and being a great friend. When Jonathan dies, David loses the person he was closest with, whose love was stronger than any woman’s, which hinders his excellence through his grief and

  • Why King David's Why He Didn T Win?

    183 Words  | 1 Pages

    The psalmist makes us understand that victories are realised through the help of God when we pray and not by our resources or abilities. We see throughout 1 Chronicles the qualities of the impressive army King David had to go to battle with but he didn’t win because of them. King David didn’t win the battles because of his superior wisdom or tactics or because his enemies were weak or stupid. Victory only came due to him taking territories in the place of praise, worship, prayer and intersession; God in answer to his cry granted him victory always.

No matter how stacked the odds were against him, Alexander the Great pulls through. We have seen his courage prevail throughout all his life: calming an unstable horse when he was young, moving his entire army across the Hellespont, and leading a powerful army across a surging river, all the while wearing an obvious white plume. Although some may disagree, Alexander’s style of commanding was not recklessness but a calculated risk of his life in the cause of a greater goal.
