“David killed Goliath with a stone”

That’s mis-information. It was a lead stone shaped like a Minie ball. Ballistics performed by archaeologists on Goliath’s corpse have confirmed it.

It’s the Babylon Bee - an otherwise well-known satire website.

"David killed Goliath with a stone"

Ah ha...this is true!

However...he used a Wrist Rocket Sling Shot that featured many of the improvements incorporated into modern day firearms. Goliath never had a chance.

"David killed Goliath with a stone"

Furthermore David used a concealed weapon to kill Goliath.

1 Samuel 17: 40 Then [David] took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine....
48 As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.
49 Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.

For sure....reading history, sometimes I think that’s all ancient people ever did!

Well, no soccer, no tail gating, no football, no movies, no concerts, etc. What else was there to do??

Wars were far more vicious before guns got involved.

Imagine getting stabbed with a spear and then having your heart ripped out of your chest while you are still alive. Or tied up and hung over a tree branch while a fire was lighted under you.
