"
David looked at him without fear and said, "You come against me with a
sword and with a spear and with a shield, but I come to you in the name
of the Lord. This day will he give you into my hand. I will kill you
and take your head from you, and I will give the bodies of the
Philistines to the birds and the beasts."
When they came near to each other, David fitted one of the five stones
to his sling.
He whirled the sling swiftly about his head. The stone flew straight to
its mark. It struck the Philistine full in the forehead. The huge giant
took one step and, with a groan, fell to the earth.
Then David, standing upon the giant, took his sword and cut off the head
of his enemy.
When the Philistines saw that their giant was dead, they were filled
with fear.
They left their camp and tried to run away, but the army of Israel
followed them and won a great victory.
For this brave deed David was made a captain and was held in honor by
the king.

PHONETIC TABLES
The following tables are planned to supplement those already developed
in the "Beacon Primer" and in the "Beacon First Reader."
The earlier tables are introduced in order that the teacher may have
them for rapid review work with her slower pupils, and also for those
pupils entering the class without any previous phonetic training.
