The day came when Israel were faced with the ultimate challenge from their aggressive neighbours, the Philistines; they were challenged to let one of their men fight the giant Goliath, the Philistine champion, on the understanding that whoever won that fight would rule over the losers.
Siku ikafika hapo Israeli walipokabiliwa na shindano la mwisho toka kwa majirani zao wenye kuanzisha ugonvi, Wafilisti; walitakiwa wapeleke mmoja k ati yao apigane na jitu kubwa - Goliati; Mfilisti aliyekuwa wa kwanza kujitokeza akifahamu kuwa yeyote atakayeshinda atamiliki juu ya upande unopoteza pigano.
