Ancient Palestine had along its eastern border, a mountain range covering all the ancient cities – Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Hebron

Also a coastal plain along the Mediterranean Sea, there was a place called Shephelah - a gorgeous part of Israel with dense oak forests, wheat fields and vineyards. Shephelah occupies a place of strategic importance as it connects the mountain range with the coastal plain. Philistines, the biggest enemies of Israelis, lived in the coastal plain

Once they made their way to the southern ridge of mountains through Shephelah They aimed to occupy Bethlehem and split the Kingdom of Israel into two. Then the King of Israel King Saul vowed to confront the Philistines Israelites pitched from the northern ridge while the Philistines from the southern ridge.

Two armies remained facing opposite, staring at each other for weeks. The army that comes down to Shephella might get completely exposed It was a perfect deadlock At this critical moment, there was only one option left i.e., single combat without bloodshed Both armies' opted for it and the venue was at Shephellah Philistines unleashed their mightiest warrior on Shephelah.

A Giant, stood tall 6 feet 9 Inches, basked in sunlight with glittering bronze armour, a razor-edged sword and shield and a sharp javelin cross on the back A glance at him was absolutely terrifying. His name was Goliath.

He thundered, "King Saul - send your mightiest man. We shall sort it out. Just the two of us."

Israeli soldiers trembled with fear. None of them wanted to fight with this Rakshas Goliath! For them, it was a death warrant? King Saul bent his head down in shame.

Witnessing all this, a young boy went up to the King and appealed. “My lord, I shall bring that giant down, grant me an opportunity”.

The whole of Israel's army burst into laughter. "How you... tiny kid… that giant Goliath…. He will gulp you in, at a stretch" they said

The boy's voice was resolute and reassuring. “I am David, a shepherd. I have defended my cattle against lions and wolves for years. I know that I can and I will!", the young boy said.
