All that David had to do was to do the spiritual needful: he showed an unwavering faith in Jehovah and making sure he spoke the last word – out of faith – to the enemy. After having spoken the last word, necessary for a Christian when the Devil comes with his war of words of derailment, David threw one of the stones and God did the rest and Goliath, who defied God’s children, fell down: dead. David did not use two stones at a time. Four being the number of creation, David left that number of stones: giving room for God to create a miraculous and deadly path to Goliath’s forehead.
