MORE EVIDENCE THAT THE BIBLE IS TRUE-DAVID'S WEAPON
The Bible tells us that a young shepherd named David killed the giant Philistine, Goliath, with a very accurately sling stone (1 Samuel 17:40, 49).
The Bible states that the Israelites used slings as weapons of war (2 Kings 3:25). Sling stones from Khirbet el-Maqatir (West Bank, Israel) are not naturally rounded. They all have evidence of being shaped by man.
Archaeologists are finding evidence that confirms these Biblical stories. Sling stones were important weapons in an ancient army's arsenal.At one excavation site in Israel, 10 miles north of Jerusalem, sling stones have been found in almost every area of the dig. Interestingly, the site is located in the territory given to the tribe of Benjamin. This tribe was known for an elite corps of slingers (Judges 20:15-16; 1 Chronicles 12:2), many of whom were left-handed slingers. 700 of them could each "sling a stone at a hair and not miss.
The best method of releasing a stone from a sling is by an underhand motion.
It is unclear when men first started slinging stones instead of throwing them. Yet, once known, it did not take long to learn that stones could be slung faster, farther, and more accurately, than they could be thrown. Early slingers also found smoother, rounded, stones were far more effective than any other shape.Ancient hand slings generally consisted of a single long strip of leather or woven wool, with a central "pocket" for the stone. The longer the sling, the greater its range. Long-range slings were about 3 feet long (0.9 meters).
Slingers are often visualized as releasing overhead, yet the best way to utilize a sling is by an underhand motion, like a softball pitcher. Elaborate wind-ups were wasted motion. One windup, like a good softball pitcher, was sufficient. Before development of the modern compound bow, ancient slingers were as effective as archers and served as an important part of any military force.
Surprisingly, a good slinger hurled a stone as far and accurately as a good archer. Roman military texts recommended archery target practice at about 200 yards (183 meters). Slingers are known to hurl their projectiles even farther, as much as 440 yards (402 meters) (a quarter of a mile / 0.40 km).As for accuracy, one ancient writer noted that the best slingers "would wound not merely the heads of their enemies, but any part of the face at which they might have aimed."
Experiments demonstrate that missiles leave a sling in excess of 60 miles per hour (97 km/h).One Roman writer noted that opponents in leather armor were in far greater danger from sling missiles than arrows. Even if the stone did not pe*****te the armor, it was capable of inflicting a fatal internal injury.
Unarmored bodies were easily pe*****ted by sling stones. An ancient medical book included instructions for removing lead and stone sling missiles from the bodies of wounded soldiers.While typical sling stones used by the Greek and Roman armies were the size of golf balls, different cultures liked different sizes.
Happy Monday!
