Let borrowed armor go.

Let this find someone learning to trust the tools already practiced in their own hands.

Saul's armor was real help, but David had never tested it. He could not move in it, and he said so without pretending.

David did not walk away from the hard step. He removed what did not fit, picked up the staff, stones, and sling already familiar to him, and moved forward.
