1Sa 17:46 “This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
This was a direct and circumstantial prophecy of what was to take place. The Philistine was already fixed as he had done daily for forty days. Apart from being heavily dressed, a man went before him carrying his shield for his hands were full with his sword and spear.
But what arms and ammunition did David furnish himself with? 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 out of the brook.
By this , it appeared that his confidence was purely in the power of God and not in any sufficiency of his own. ( Mathew Henry’s commentary) Brethren, the battle belongs to the Lord of hosts. Giants are still being slayed. ” This day, the Lord will deliver them into your hands.” …..Not by might nor by power , but by my spirit says the Lord of hosts.( zec 4:6)
