Every day, Goliath would tease the Israelites. Saying, “Nah, nah, nah, nah! Who’s going to challenge me?” But the Israelites were too scared. No one was brave enough to challenge the giant.

We begin with a man named Samuel. God told Samuel that he would pick the next king! So Samuel went to a certain house because one of the brothers there would be the next king.  Now if you were looking for a king, you’d want someone really smart, right?  Or someone strong . . .  Or someone older with experience . . .  Samuel knew that choosing the next king was a big job.
