David and Goliath: A Kids Bible Story
David and Goliath – A Kids Bible Story About Courage and Faith
The story of David and Goliath is one of the most famous adventures in the Bible — and one of the most powerful lessons in courage. It shows that no matter how small or young we may feel, God can help us overcome even the biggest challenges.
At TheKidsBible.com, we bring this timeless story to life through colorful animation and engaging storytelling — making it one of the most exciting episodes in the Kids Bible series.
️ The Battle Begins
Long ago, God’s people, the Israelites, were at war with the Philistines. Every day, a giant named Goliath came out from the enemy camp to shout insults and challenge anyone brave enough to fight him.
Goliath was enormous — over nine feet tall, wearing armor that shimmered in the sun. The Israelites were terrified. No one dared to face him… until a young shepherd boy named David arrived at the battlefield.
David wasn’t a soldier. He was just bringing food to his older brothers. But when he heard Goliath mocking God’s people, something inside him stirred. He knew that with God’s help, he didn’t need to be afraid.
This is one of the reasons the David and Goliath story is a favorite among children — it reminds them that bravery doesn’t come from size or strength, but from faith.
Five Smooth Stones
King Saul tried to give David his royal armor, but it was too heavy. Instead, David picked up his shepherd’s sling and chose five smooth stones from a nearby stream. With faith in his heart, he stepped out to face the giant.
Goliath laughed when he saw David. “Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?” he roared. But David wasn’t scared.
He shouted back:
“You come against me with sword and spear, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty!” — 1 Samuel 17:45
David placed a stone in his sling, swung it around, and let it fly. The stone hit Goliath squarely in the forehead — and the giant fell to the ground!
With that single act of faith, David defeated the mighty Goliath.
