LESSON

Dovid Hamelech was a great king. His greatness was revealed even before he was anointed king.  Even as a young child, Dovid Hamelech already began to save the Jews from danger.  There was once a giant, Golias, who was very mean.  Everyday he would come and make fun of  the Bnei Yisroel.  He would scare them, daring anybody to come fight him.  Of course, no one dared to approach Golias.

Dovid was bothered that this giant scared and made so much fun of the Bnei Yisroel.  He decided to do something.  He  took his little slingshot and went to fight Golias.  Dovid threw a stone from his slingshot, and the stone landed on Golias forehead.  Golias fell down and died.  Bnei Yisroel were so thankful for Hashem's miracle.  Immediately Little Dovid became a hero and all the Yidden were proud of him.

After Dovid became king, he continued fighting the Goyim.  He had many wars with them - so that the Yidden could  live safely in Eretz Yisroel.  

(Shmuel I Perek 17)
