Something I learned that the average Bible person missed: 1 Sam. 17:40 when David went out to meet Goliath note, he picked up FIVE stones. Why??

Now go to 2 Sam. 21: 16-22. Goliath had four sons, vs.16, 18,19, 21-22. David or one of his many Mighty Men killed all of them.

But I'm a romantic and think that when David picked up those five stones, he meant to kill them all not just Goliath.

You may well be right, but I feel compelled to point out that I don’t keep just one round in my revolver (which is a five-shot) -— but then maybe David was a better shot with his sling than I am with my gun ... :))

That is correct. David was a capable hunter.
