Fig. 2 gives one of the scenes from _David and Goliath._ The play follows as it was given. DAVID AND GOLIATH CHARACTERS: David, David's Three Brothers, King Saul, Goliath, Israelite Soldiers, Philistine Soldiers. SCENE I. THE CHALLENGE PLACE: On the battlefield. _First Brother:_ Have ye seen this Philistine who is come up, this giant who has defied the armies of the living God? _Second Brother:_ Who has seen him? _Third Brother:_ I have seen him; he is verily a giant. His height is six cubits and a span. He weareth an helmet of brass upon his head, and he is armed with a coat of mail, and he hath greaves of brass upon his legs, and the staff of his spear is like the weaver's beam; and one bearing a shield goeth before him. Our soldiers are truly afraid. They flee as he approacheth. [Illustration: FIG. 2.--A scene from _David and Goliath_] _Goliath_ [_apart from the king and soldiers_]: Why are ye come out to gather your armies to battle? Am I not a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? Choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me. If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then shall ye be our servants and serve us. I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together. [_Some of the soldiers turn and flee._] _Saul:_ Hear the words of this Philistine. I know not what we can do. Have we no man among us with the strength or boldness to fight this giant? I will enrich him with great riches. _Second Brother:_ In truth, he is a mighty giant, O King. Our soldiers are greatly dismayed; no one will accept this challenge. [_The king and two soldiers go out. Enter_ DAVID. _He runs up to his brothers and salutes them._] _First Brother:_ This is David, our younger brother! How cometh it that thou art here? _Second Brother:_ I thought we left thee tending the sheep. _Third Brother:_ What news dost thou bring of our father? Is all well with him? _David:_ My father commanded me, saying, "Take now for thy brethren this parched corn and these ten loaves, and run to the camp of thy brethren; and carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare." And I rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and came as my father commanded. [_Brothers take food from_ DAVID.]
