Just
kidding. But this “traditional”
slingshot, woven
in Bethlehem, David's hometown, makes a singular
gift for anyone who wants to emulate David, and have
fun doing it! Use it as a visual for Sunday
School Bible classes and as a prop for David and
Goliath skits. The slingshot is accompanied by a
three-page commentary
on the famous duel: the geographical setting, its
historical roots and the “smoking sling.”
The slingshot comes without the stone – but to
give you a sense of size, the stone is 2.5 inches in
diameter, similar to the real size of the stone
David would have picked up from the river bed.
The stone that hit Goliath’s forehead was not a
pebble!

Warning: This slingshot can be deadly to
giants -- and windows!
One pastor gives these
slingshots as a gift when he commissions new
ministers to preach. The slingshot
symbolically reminds them of the power they have to
slay the giants in their lives -- and to empower
their congregants to do so as well.

A “Widow’s
Mite” is a tiny copper coin, the smallest
unit of currency, which was by far the most
common coin in circulation during the time
of Jesus.
To the left are two authentic 2000-year-old
“Widow’s Mites,” shown at their exact size,
about half an inch in diameter. Below, the authentic coins, sold by local
coin dealers, are shown at four times their
size.
