About this book
On the hills around Bethlehem, young David watches his father's sheep with patience and courage. Amy Steedman begins this Bible retelling with the youngest of Jesse's sons at work among the pastures, before Samuel's arrival brings a secret purpose to the household. The prophet's choice turns attention from the older brothers' impressive appearance to the qualities of the shepherd boy.
David's everyday skills carry the story forward. He practises the harp, makes songs and learns to use a sling with care. His music brings comfort to King Saul, and an errand carrying food to his brothers takes him into an army camp facing Goliath's challenge. Written for children, the narrative links faith with responsibility and steady practice. It offers a direct introduction to these Old Testament episodes, with particular attention to how ordinary duties prepare David for larger demands.
