Sam 21:16And
Ishbi–benob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear
weighed three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new
sword, thought to have slain David.
17But Abishai the son of
Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him….
Here
we find David being rescued by Abishai when a giant almost killed him. This is
one of four testimonies in 2 Sam 21 of heroes in Israel killing giants. Without a doubt
this is a result of them seeing what David did to Goliath. So in a way you can
say that because David killed Goliath, he is now rescued or saved from being
killed by a giant himself.
When
David killed Goliath, he didn’t have to. He was not pressed into a corner. He
was not challenged personly. He was not even a soldier. No one expected him to
do anything. It was not really his fight. But he felt it was his responsibility
as long as he challenged his God and defiled his name. This Giant was standing
in the way for Gods people moving forward.
The
moral of this story is this: If you kill someone else Giant, someone one else
will kill yours. Its tempting to think: That’s not my problem, that’s not my
cancer. Its not I that have financial problems, etc etc. But if we pray as it
was our giant. If we fast and pray, and help killing other peoples giant, then
when we have a giant, they will help us. When we have cancer and need people to
not only say they will pray, but actually do it. When I face a mountain, and
feel I am sinking, someone else will stretch out a hand and help.
