Malcolm Gladwell's provocative new #1 bestseller -- now in paperback. Three thousand years ago on a battlefield in ancient Palestine, a shepherd boy felled a mighty warrior with nothing more than a pebble and a sling-and ever since, the names of David and Goliath have stood for battles between underdogs and giants. David's victory was improbable and miraculous. He shouldn't have won. Or should he? In DAVID AND GOLIATH, Malcolm Gladwell challenges how we think about obstacles and disadvantages, offering a new interpretation of what it means to be discriminated against, suffer from a disability, lose a parent, attend a mediocre school, or endure any number of other apparent setbacks. In the tradition of Gladwell's previous bestsellers-The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers and What the Dog Saw-DAVID AND GOLIATH draws upon history, psychology and powerful story-telling to reshape the way we think of the world around us.

David and Goliath is the story of a shepherd boy who is the youngest of 8 children every day David takes care of his father's sheep, goes to market, practice's his slingshot and play music in his spare time.

The King, Sal is stressed and worried about losing the war because the General of the Philistine army is a giant named Goliath.

Saul has David brought to him, and begins to explain that David cannot fight Goliath because he is too big and a seasoned warrior. David convinces Saul to let him fight the giant. After trying on the armor of King Saul, David decides the armor is too big and bulky. He goes out to face Goliath armed with a sling, a few stones, and his faith in the God of Israel. After exchanging threats, David and Goliath run at each other. David kills Goliath with a single stone by hitting Goliath in the forehead. After the giant tumbles to the ground, David cuts off his head, and the armies of Israel pursue the armies of the Philistines back to their cities.
