David’s mouth dripped open slowly. He stood with his heels dug into my carpet, a dashed hope, a broken dream. No amount of money could top the priceless look that gathered on his face like an unmade bed. His eyebrows crumpled and furrowed like disheveled sheets. His lips curled into an acidic smirk. Confusion and shock collided in the cornea of his dilated pupils. He was a B.B. King song, personified. His entire body sang the blues. Brandi L. Bates
About This Quote

David was a slave of the Philistines. David’s master, Goliath’s father, had promised to give him a huge sum of money if he could defeat the Israelite army. However, David had lost his nerve when it came to fighting Goliath in battle. Instead, he found an unexpected way out.

Instead of fighting, David took his master’s own spear and killed Goliath with it. He then went on to kill many other men in the Israelite army with that same weapon. Despite the fact that he was essentially given an impossible task, he rose up to meet it and succeeded in defeating his enemies in battle.
