“David, mentioned here, is the David who killed Goliath, isn't he?” asked Kate.
“I suppose so,” I answered, but being unsure, I typed the name in the search box anyway.
“Yes,” I confirmed. “He's the one who killed the dangerous Goliath by throwing stones at him.”
I scanned the next paragraphs. “David became a hero,” I told Kate, “and Saul who at first admired him, started to get jealous and decided to kill him. However, Jonathan, Saul’s son, who made friends with David, warned him and David escaped. Later Saul and his sons, including Jonathan were killed by some tribes, and David became a king. When he found out that Jonathan's son Mephibosheth was still alive, he brought him to his court.”
“Well,” I concluded, “now we know who Mephiboseth was, but it does not help us much, does it?”
Kate shook her head.
