In episode 8, Jonathan and a group of Israeli soldiers sneak into the Philistine camp to kill Goliath while he sleeps, but they are betrayed by a mercenary from Endor. The Philistines kill all the soldiers except Jonathan, who is captured by King Achish. Achish mocks Jonathan but eventually releases him to deliver a message to King Saul demanding Israel's surrender or face attack.

David arrives at the Israelite camp to see his brothers and hears Goliath defying Israel and God. Outraged by the blasphemy and the fact that no one else volunteers, David steps forward to fight Goliath. Despite being laughed at and rebuked by his brothers, David's conviction leads Israel's General to bring him before King Saul, who ultimately allows David to serve as Israel's champion.

King Saul is initially hesitant but defends his decision to let David fight Goliath when confronted by other Israeli leaders. Saul summons David, who testifies about his experience as a shepherd and his faith in God. Saul then chooses David as the champion to face Goliath.

Prince Jonathan is captured by the Philistines during the failed ambush but is later released by King Achish to deliver an ultimatum to King Saul. Jonathan also discovers that David is the Lord God's anointed and supports him. His capture and release add tension to the impending battle.

David approaches Goliath, who mocks and disdains him. David speaks of the Lord God's deliverance and declares his victory. Goliath throws spears at David, striking him, but David rises, slings a stone that hits Goliath's forehead, and then kills him by cutting off his head. The episode ends with David's victory fulfilling the prophecy and turning the tide for Israel.
