2 | Why did David choose 5 stones? | 1 Sam 17:40 | Makarios | 23556 | ||
Greetings Psalm46! According to the Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary, "David chose five stones, as a reserve, in case the first should fail." Yes, it has been suggested that David chose for himself five smooth stones, symbolizing the death and defeat of Goliath and his brothers at the hand of David and his army. However, there is nothing within the text to suggest that Goliath's brothers were present to witness this "showdown" between David and Goliath. Also, there is nothing to suggest how David could have possibly known that Goliath had four brothers. So I believe that he took five smooth stones to ensure that he had enough 'ammunition' to carry out his mission, if he were to miss. For more on Goliath and his brothers, please do a 'Search' at the right and I'm sure that you will be able to pull up plenty of information. Blessings to you, Nolan |
