The lesson to be learned from the story of David and Goliath is not that sometimes miracles do happen. It should not be that God likes the Jews more than he likes anybody else, even though, I fear, the story has often been understood as meaning exactly that. No, the lesson to be learned is that a small but precise military action, focussed directly and only on the target that needs taking out is more conserving of resources, energy and, above all, life, and a quicker, far less messy way of realising the object of the attack, than simply throwing boulders all over the battlefield hoping that one of them might just hit the target that needs taking out.
