israel, we see this theme of the remnant that god chooses to do his greatest work through the leftovers, through the disadvantaged. and david's defeat of goliath was proof to this struggling, desperate people that the god who had established them was still with them. it elevated them as a nation. it allowed them to take pride in who they were as a people. >> this young david, when he kills goliath, he got rewarded by king saul by being appointed as the general of the army. and king saul also gave david his daughter to marry. so in a way, he brought him very close to himself. but then king saul realized later that david became too popular and a source of competition. >> he's the equivalent of a social media icon, right?
