Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.

0:07.0

Today we recounted a lot of David's military victories and it's worth noting that

0:17.5

all these battles aren't necessarily happening back to back. They're just

0:20.8

grouped together here instead of spread out chronologically.

0:24.0

David wins because of God's plan and favor,

1:24.8

not because of David's strength or ability.

1:27.6

it would be easy to forget where the praise belongs.

1:34.0

After all, he rose to power as the war hero, the guy who defeated the Philistines with one sling of a stone.
