[pcgeek12]

Why did David take 5 stone why not a few stones?
he knows that he can kill the giant with a stone why does he need trhe other 4 sones?

 

[whatfor]

Because Goliath had 4 brothers

Why did David take 5 stone why not a few stones?
he knows that he can kill the giant with a stone why does he need trhe other 4 sones?

Now here is the type of question I like to hear. I do not not know the exact answer, I can only add thought to the question.

I know that 5 is the number of Grace, it is the favor of God. Perhaps there is a tie in there. Just as Joseph gave his brother 5 times more when he fed his brothers in Genesis 43:34.

Oh well, it is food for thought.

In the same story Goliath wore a covering of bronze, bronze being the material representing judgement, adds to the depth of this story.

Notice David removed the bronze covering off of himself after Saul put it on him. Perhaps meaning he will not be judged.


” 9 So Moses made a snake out of bronze and attached it to a pole. Then anyone who was bitten by a snake could look at the bronze snake and be healed!


14 And as Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,

I only posted these few verses to show that bronze was a part of judgement.

Hopefully we'll get more info from other people.
