1 Samuel 21:
8 And David said to Ahimelech, Is there not here on hand a spear or a sword?
For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s
business required haste.
9 So the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley
of Elah, there it is, wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take that, take it.
For there is no other except that one here.
And David said, There is none like it; give it to me.
Why was David so impressed with the sword of Goliath?
Do you detect a hint of covetousness in his statement?
Did he not realize that as a boy he had wielded a giant’s weapon
only by the power of the Spirit of the Lord?
What were the consequences of his taking possession of this mighty weapon?
