So one of our field trips we went to the Shephelah, this is the low hill country of Israel. We saw many different sights including the valley of Elah where David fought Goliath. Some interesting points I learned while we studied this battle.
-David brought with him 5 stones, that means he knew within 5 shots he would kill Goliath.
-The stone was slung at a speed of around 100 mph.
-David was basically a professional stone slinger.
I got to practice slinging stones with a sling just like David would have used. Let's just say my skill level isn't quite up to his yet.
