David Was A Shepherd Boy Who Became King of Ancient Israel
David's life was full of adventure!
He killed a lion and a bear with his bare hands, slew Goliath with a tiny little stone...stole the heart of the beautiful Lady Abigail...and finally became the King of Israel!
God had a really good plan for his life...it took him a while to get to the good stuff, but I'm sure he felt it was worth the wait.
From the caves of Adullam to the King's Palace in Jerusalem...your child's playtime will teach them great lessons from the Bible. As they spend time playing make believe with this shepherd boy who became a king, they will learn that God has planted the heart of a king in EVERY child!
But, that's another story that we will discuss when we study about God's Royal Trees! Yet another one of the giant adventures you will find hidden within the pages of God's Holy Word.
You can find the story of David beginning in I Samuel 17...

Timelines Help Kids Understand the Historical Context of Bible Stories
Many thanks to Jimmie for directing her creative energies into great teaching resources for educating children. Her lens about timelines will help understand the cultures at the time the Bible stories were written.
Did You Know That Goliath Was a Pirate?
...as well as a GIANT!
The Philistine Hypothesis
...in Philistia, the producers of Mycenaean IIIC pottery
must be identified as the Philistines.
The logical conclusion, therefore, is that...
...in Philistia, the producers of Mycenaean IIIC pottery
must be identified as the Philistines.
The logical conclusion, therefore, is that...
David's Brothers Thought He Was Pretty Stupid, God Thought He Was Very Brave!
David's family was what we would call "totally dysfunctional!"
Goliath was the Philistine giant who thought he could intimidate the children of Israel. He was very scary, but David wasn't afraid of him! David was a shepherd boy, so he was accustomed to fighting off enemies bigger than he was.The Bible tells us that he killed a lion and a bear in order to protect his sheep. David was very young, but he was also very brave. Even though he couldn't put much faith in his home environment, his faith in God was strong... strong enough to stop that giant in his tracks!
David's challenge was a bold and daring act, since David was just a teenager; and Goliath stood over 7 feet tall! There's a lot more to learn about that battle, and other adventures in the life of this young shepherd boy who became king of Israel.

I LOVE This Book!
Philip Keller teaches us about the sheperd of the Psalms from a practical standpoint... he's a keeper of sheep, so he knows what he's talking about!
His insights are well worth the read... Enjoy!

Abigail
Like all young men, David had a heart for romance!He almost had a deadly encounter with a man named Nabal, who lived in Maon.
Nabal's wife intervened, and saved the life of her foolish husband.
Abigail is a lovely lady who made such a good impression on the young shepherd David, that he asked her to be his wife after her selfish husband died!
This doll is dressed in contemporary clothes, but your little girl will still love learning the story of how Abigail kept David from killing her husband! Read the story and discover how she did it...
You can find the story in the Old Testament book of Samuel. I Samuel 25
This lovely doll is from the Blessed Toys collection. A modern day version of Abigail helps children learn about the love story between the unlikely couple of Abigail and David!
Abigail Isn't the Only Female Hero We Find in The Bible
The Bible tells us that the stories of old were written for our learning... you know the old saying that hindsight is 20/20!
We can learn a lot by studying the lives of women who helped change the course of history. Women of Israel are some of the best examples of strength and courage!
Teach your children about them with modern day materials... like games, toys and crafty projects!
Smart and strong little girls grow to be smart and strong women...P31 Dolls will help make that transition a time of great joy. Having fun together is part of God's good plan... for families.

- This is a great lens. I didn't know that he was the same David as in 'David and Goliath'. I really knew very little of him. Thanks for sharing this fantastic lens.
