Answer: David is depicted before his battle with The giant Goliath.

Instead of being shown victorious over a foe much larger than Himself, David looks tense and ready for combat.

So its a christian type thing it portrays even though he knew he could win he was still scared and worried.

Explanation: Hope this helps!!
