We stopped briefly at the Valley of Elah on our way up to Jerusalem. This is the legendary place where David met Goliath and slew him. The Scriptures give exact coordinates as to this location in 1 Sam. 17:1-3. In this picture, the view is toward what would be the Israel side of the valley. Do you notice the brook? It runs along this side of the valley. It is the brook and most likely the place where David drew his five smooth stones prior to meeting the Philistine champion in the valley. How amazing to stand at this site and view it today!
