In the natural, nobody in Saul's army had the physical ability to defeat Goliath. But God had given them and even more powerful weapon, His Word. God made a covenant with Abraham and his descendants that He would fight on their behalf. As long as they trusted God and were obedient, they should not fear anyone.

Unlike the rest of the army, David understood his relationship and covenant with God. Fear had paralyzed the army, but David already saw the victory by faith.
