Goliath Was Nearly TEN FEET Tall — and David Refused the King's Armor | The Full Story

About this video

The giant stood nearly ten feet tall. His breastplate alone weighed a hundred and twenty-five pounds. And the boy who faced him refused the king's sword, shield and helmet — walking into the valley with FIVE stones, not one. Why five? The answer comes at the very end of this story. 🪨

In this video you'll discover: ✅ Why only King Saul and his son owned an iron sword in all of Israel's army ✅ The 40 days of challenges that froze an entire army ✅ The physics of the sling: a weapon of war faster than 60 mph ✅ The detail about the five stones almost nobody knows ✅ What happened to Goliath's head and sword afterwards
