What is shown in this coloring page?

The story of David and Goliath is found in the First Book of Samuel, Chapter 17. The Philistine army challenged the Israelites, with their champion, the giant Goliath, daring any Israelite to fight him. For forty days, the armies stood in a stalemate, filled with fear. Young David, who had come to bring food to his brothers, heard the taunts. Trusting in God rather than in armor or swords, he confronted Goliath with just a sling and five smooth stones from a stream. With one faithful shot, David defeated the giant, showing that with God, nothing is impossible.
