Merri Shaffner also asks, “How old was David when he slew Goliath?”
The Bible does not say how old David was when he fought Goliath, but it does give us an approximation. I Samuel 17:42 says the following: “And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.” According to Roget’s Thesaurus, Youth is defined as “the time of life between childhood and maturity.” David had not yet reached his full growth and development which constitutes maturity; therefore David was probably around the ages of 12-16 when he killed the Philistine giant named Goliath. Garrett Deese asks, “I am looking for a verse that states that you shouldn’t dwell on the past but rather you should push on for the future. So far I have come up with Philippians 3:13. Are there any more?” Actually not verbatim, but the wonderful thing about the Word of God is that many verses fit together to collectively form or express the same principle of determination. Determination is purposing not to quit but to continue
