AI OVERVIEW: Now, Dave lived in a land called Israel a long, long time ago. So long ago that there weren\'t any cars or telephones or vacuum cleaners or anything. There were mostly just sheep, especially around Dave\'s house because Dave was a shepherd. No, no, that\'s not him. That\'s one of his brothers. Nope, another brother. Uh, nope. Another brother. Dave had a lot of brothers. Aha, there he is. No, not the sheep. He\'s behind the sheep. Uh, shoo there, Fluffy. >> Hi, I\'m Dave. I have a lot of brothers. >> Yep. Seven to be exact. Now Dave and his brothers spent most of their time in the fields taking care of their sheep, which could be hard work because their sheep had an unusual problem. >> They tip over. >> Oh, look. There goes more now. >> But Dave had an even bigger problem. You see, of all the brothers, he was the smallest. >> That\'s right. Everybody\'s bigger than I am. >> And sometimes his big brothers would pick on him. Oh, Dave, one of my sheep fell over. Would you come pick it up for me? >> I\'m kind of busy right now. >> Do you remember the time we dipped you in tar and stuck you to the backside of an angry water buffalo? >> I\'ll be right there. >> Hi, Dave. One of my sheep fell, too. >> Just a minute. >> Oh, look. All my sheep fell over. Dave. Oh, Dave, after you pick up our sheep, could you run and get me a bite to eat? I\'m famished. >> Oh, yeah. Me, too. Get me something, too. >> You know, sometimes I think I could eat a whole camel. >> Oh, yeah. Well, sometimes I think I could eat a whole spaceship. >> Uh, what\'s a spaceship? >> I have no idea. That\'s how things have pretty much always been for Dave. Nothing really exciting happened around there until one day when their dad Jesse came running out with some horrible news. >> Uh Dave, can you pick those up? Oh. Oh, boys. Oh. Oh, boys. I got I got horrible news. The villa the the Philippines are are they\'re attacking. The limema beans are uh lacking. >> The nectarines are quacking. >> One more time, please, and let\'s work on our annunciation. >> The Philistines are attacking. >> Uh Bob, what are the Philippines? >> The Philippines are a group of islands off the coast of Southeast Asia. But that\s not important now. The Philistines were people who hated Israel. They wanted to take Israel\'s land and make the Israelites their slaves. So, they\d have to do whatever the Philistines told them to do. >> Oh, that\s bad. >> You\re right. So, the Israelites needed to protect themselves. >> We need to protect ourselves. But how? >> King Saul is putting together an army to stop the Philistines. He needs your help. You must help save Israel. >> We must help save Israel. WE MUST help save Israel. WE MUST help save Israel. >> Hey, hey, hey, hey, Dave. Where do you think you\re going? >> I must help save Israel. >> It\'s very nice that you want to help, but saving a country is a big thing. You\re a little guy. Big people do big things and little people do little things. So stay with the sheep. But Little they go. I twiddle. Why can\t little guys do big things, too? By the time Dave\'s brothers arrived at King Saul\'s camp, battle lines had been drawn between the Philistines and the Israelites. And as was the custom in their day, the armies lined up and yelled at each other. >> Hello Israelites. You are be and soon we will put in your mouth and stick you in our toaster ovens. >> Oh yes. After we defeat you, you will be a slave and you have to fetch us our sleepers. >> Yes. And iron our trousers. >> Oh, and wipe our little noses. >> Aha. And scratch that spud on our backs we cannot reach no matter how hard we try. Don\'t you have anything to say? >> Um, do you guys have any fried chicken? >> Yeah, me too. >> This is going to be easier than we thought. >> You know, I think I can save us all a lot of time. How about if we bring out our strongest man and you bring out your strongest man and they will fight. If our champion beats your champion, you will be our slaves. But if your champion defeats ours, we will be your slaves. What do you think about that? >> Well, the Israelites were getting kind of tired of the yelling, and the Philistines did seem a little on the small side, so King Saul agreed. > That seems like a reasonable idea. All right, we agree. Send out your champion. > Hey, Goliath. Who will I fight? The Israelites were so terrified of Goliath that they all ran away and hid. Finally, Jesse started to worry about his boys. So, he sent little Dave to the battlefield with some food. Now, Dave got to King Saul\'s camp just about the time Goliath was going to come out. So, all the Israelites were hiding. > Hello. Is anybody here? > Shh. He\'ll hear you. > Who? > Him. That big pickle over there. > Who will fight me? > Well, who\s going to fight him? > What are you nuts? He\d have us for lunch. Speaking of which, what\d you bring us? > Here you go. > M pizza. > Oh, cheese in the crust. That\s tremendous. > Come on, guys. Have you forgotten? We\re the children of God. > The what? > The children of God. The Bible says that the Israelites were God\'s chosen people. God led them through the desert. He helped them walk across the Red Sea. And whenever they went into battle, God was there with them. And whenever they went into battle, God was there with them. They had always known that if God was on their side, no one could stand against them. Wow. But King Saul and his men were so scared of big, tall Goliath, they forgot that God was even bigger. Oh dear. Uh, Larry, you\'ve got something on your uh >> Huh? >> Oh, never mind. Once again, no one would answer Goliath\'s challenge. > No one to fight. They told me that you are the children of God. You are cowards. I come back tomorrow. > I can\t believe you\re letting him say that. Somebody\s got to do something. > What are you going to do, Dave? Remember, you\re a little guy. Leave this big stuff to us big people. > Do you think he saw me? > No, you\re okay. > Phew. Well, Dave knew exactly what he had to do. So, he went straight to King Saul and announced his plan. > I will fight Goliath. > King Saul took the news rather well. > I\'m sorry. My ears must be failing. I could have sworn I heard you say that you\d fight Goliath. But you didn\'t say that, did you? > Yes, I did. > Oh, I say that\'s very kind. But let\'s be reasonable. You are a tiny little fellow. And well, Goliath is he\'s enormous. No, no, no, no. That\'s a job for a big person, not a little boy like you. > You\re not going to sing, are you? Couldn\'t you just play your harp and I\'ll throw things at you? Oh, > you\re big. I\'m little. My head only comes to your middle. But I say little guys can do big things, too. > Yes, lion. He\'s >> He\s big, but God\s bigger. And when a bigger figure with his help, little guys can do big things, too. > Oh, I see what you\re saying. All right, I understand. Now, let\'s
