one stone

@the-grifter said
if the hand of God was with David why did he pick up five stones for his sling ?.

David routinely used his sling to keep predators away from the sheep he stood guard over, so It's likely he had other plans for the other 4 stones that had nothing to do with Goliath.

if David was a chosen one of the Lord he would have only have had to pick up one stone as the Lord would have been with him.

David picked up five or six because he did not believe the Lord was with him so he wanted extra stones.




You don't know that for sure, and neither does anyone else except God and David.
