I am a geek. And I am a minister. The useful analogy here has nothing to do with the theocracy but with the possibility that victory might be obtained in the face of visibly superior force.
That's all.
Another point to consider is that David put weapons technology to work by standing well out of Goliath's reach and flinging stones at him until one hit its mark. IIRC the Bible does not state that the very first one hit its mark.
Since the bulk of the Bible deals with the issue of who is and who isn't God, consider that there might also be other lessons here.
BTW, I thought the original author stretched his metaphor past the snapping point<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... but that's another issue altogether.
