Sic Parvis Magna

Sic Parvis Magna: Latin for "Greatness from small beginnings". (common translation) Sir Francis Drake's personal motto. Such could be said about David. Read 1 Samuel 16. He was a shepherd and a musician. He took out Goliath after so many 'warriors' ran in fear. He became king of Israel. The Sling (2024) (Goliath) I defy the armies of Israel today! Send me a man who will fight me!” - 1 Samuel 17:10 (NLT) They say technology changes, but the man doesn't. This isn't always the case. The type of sling still used in the Middle East was most likely the type David used. A simple device. David & Goliath, a tale as old as time, is one of the most enduring and legendary tales from the Bible. Told with themes of faith, courage and triumph of the unlikely hero, David is a young shepherd who faces Goliath, a behemoth Philistine warrior who struck fear into the heart of the Israelites. In Samuel 1:17, the battle rages in the Valley of Elah between the Philistines and the Israelite army of Saul.
