What does the Bible say about David's armor in 1 Samuel 17?

Answered in 1 source

David rejected Saul's armor, trusting instead in God's power to defeat Goliath.

In 1 Samuel 17, David turns down Saul's armor because he had not tested it and instead chooses his own weapons, trusting solely in the Lord for victory. David had previously defeated a lion and a bear without armor, demonstrating his faith that it was God who fought for him. His declaration in verse 45, 'I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts,' emphasizes the belief that God's name carries more power than physical armor.
