+-----David and Goliath Retold;Game 7 Of The WCF

Steph, by now you should be accustomed
to the raucous and demonstrative jeering
against your dreams of a second ring, the
boisterous 3-1 Philistine taunts of the
Oklahoma City Thunder incited by Russell
Westbrook, dirt flung and spittle of Dagon
in the Valley of Elah, Oracle Arena. Though
they band together against you furiously as
one man 9 feet tall, ostensibly formidable
and surly, dried drool on his disheveled beard –
Steve Adams, Serge Ibaka, Kevin Durant – with
bronze helmet of rebounding, coat of mail of shot
blocking that weighs five thousand shekels,
spearhead of hard picks six hundred shekels,
your strength comes from within. The cold lonely
nights shepherding on the knoll - dribbling shooting
and passing as prayers to Israel’s God -prepped
you well for this night. All it takes is one game, one
more win like the other two, slain lion and bear,
one rock from the sling, and this “Goliath” falls dead.
The head of OKC’s season dangling in your hand.


-----1 Samuel 17:4-11
And a champion went out from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. He had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze. And he had bronze armor on his legs and a bronze javelin between his shoulders. Now the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and his iron spearhead weighed six hundred shekels; and a shield-bearer went before him. Then he stood and cried out to the armies of Israel, and said to them, “Why have you come out to line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me. If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us.” And the Philistine said, “I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.” When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.
