I believe your answer is best stated by Matthew Henry. But what arms and ammunition is David furnished with? Truly none but what he brought with him as a shepherd; no breastplate, nor corselet, but his plain shepherd's coat; no spear, but his staff; no sword nor bow, but his sling; no quiver, but his scrip; nor any arrows, but, instead of them, five smooth stones picked up out of the brook, 1Sa_17:40. By this it appeared that "his confidence was purely in the power of God," and not in any sufficiency of his own, and that now at length he who put it into his heart to fight the Philistine put it into his head with what weapons to do it. I would say that David chose five stones because he thought "he" might miss. It only took one, because he was was doing Gods will. Perhaps as we often do, even David doubted his own strength in faith. GB |
