The book of Psalms
is the longest book among the books of the bible, and is unique in its chants and praises for the lord, as well as its deep expression of emotion. It is customary to read the psalms in time of mercy (propitious hour), in times of danger, in times of illness or any time one wishes to get closer to G-d.
from Wikipedia :
David
Hebrew
: דוד
,
Modern
David
Tiberian
Dawēḏ (Dawîḏ)
, "beloved"  was the second king of the united
Kingdom of Israel
according to the
Bible
. He is depicted as a righteous king, although not without fault, as well as an acclaimed warrior, musician and poet, traditionally credited for composing many of the psalms contained in the Book of
Psalms
.
Thiele
dates his life to c.1040–970 BC, his reign over
Judah
c.1010–1003 BC, and his reign over the united
Kingdom of Israel
c.1003–970 BC.

The
Books of Samuel
are the only source of information on his life and reign, although the
Tel Dan stele
records the existence in the mid-9th century of a Judean royal dynasty called the "House of David".
David's life is particularly important to
Jewish
,
Christian
, and
Islamic
culture. In Islam, David (Dawood) is a prophet and the king of a nation, as well as the young warrior who slew Goliath before gaining power and ruling his kingdom. He is remembered for his eloquent speech and the beautiful recitation of God's word.

The story of David and Goliath
:
The Israelites are facing the
Philistines
in the
Valley of Elah
. David is bringing food to his older brothers who are with King
Saul
. David's father
Jesse
has given David instructions similar to those given by
Jacob
to
Joseph
calling for David to look into the welfare of his brothers. (See
Genesis 37:12-17
compare
1 Sam. 17:17-19
).

giant
Goliath
challenging the Israelites to send their own champion to decide the outcome in single combat. Goliath is dressed in scale armor, the Hebrew word literally meaning "scales".
[
7
]
(
1 Sam. 17:5
)
Typologically
this harkens back to the scales of the Serpent in the
Garden of Eden
.
[

]
Goliath has been taunting the Israelites for forty days, which is analogous to Israel's wilderness experience during the
Exodus
of forty years prior to
Joshua
's conquest and deliverance, (see
Numbers 14:33-34
) making David a type of new
Joshua
who would deliver the Israelites. As in Numbers 13:25-33, during the time of the Conquest, the Israelites are afraid of a giant or giants in the land.
[

]
Likewise Goliath is described as a "giant" whose hometown is
Gath
[
9
]
, a city where the
Anakim
giants, who were conquered by Joshua years earlier, had relocated, making Goliath a possible descendant.
[
9
]
So David goes to Saul and tells Saul he is prepared to face Goliath because he has killed a bear and a lion (1 Sam. 17:37). David insists that he can defeat Goliath. "Goliath had committed blasphemy, a capital crime, and David was going out to
stone him to death
."
[

]
Saul wants him to make the attempt. Saul attempts to dress David in his own armor but David will not take it. Instead David chooses a staff and a sling to confront Goliath. The sling is significant because Saul is of the
tribe of Benjamin
, and should be a good slinger, presumably capable of defeating Goliath with a sling (an earlier work called the
Book of Judges
, indicates that warriors in Saul's tribe, the
Benjamites
, were known as excellent slingers (Judges 20:16)
[
11
]
). David, however, is not a Benjamite but he chooses to fight Goliath using a weapon that the King's own tribe is indicated to have been proficient in, after the king has delayed action for forty days.(see
Judges 20:15-16
)
[
12
]
David is victorious, striking Goliath's head with a stone from his
sling
. "Goliath was dressed like a serpent with his scale armor, and he died like a serpent, with a head wound, just as the Philistine god
Dagon
had his head crushed. As the
Psalm
says, all those who worship
idols
will be like them (Ps. 155:1-8)".
[
13
]
An earlier passage, 1 Samuel 5.2–7, relates how the ark of Yahweh was captured by the Philistines and taken to Dagon's temple in
Ashdod
. The following morning they found the image of Dagon lying prostrate before the ark. They set the image upright, but again on the morning of the following day they found it prostrate before the ark.
The Philistines flee in terror and the Israelites win a great victory. David cuts off the giant's head and takes it to Jerusalem, perhaps as a warning to the
Jebusites
who still rule there.
[
13
]
Saul asks who the young hero is; and David replies, "I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem."
1 Samuel 17:58
Significantly perhaps, Saul is often seen holding a spear, Goliath's weapon of choice, throughout the rest of First Samuel.
