This term is used in contexts where precision and skill are required, as in the case of a slinger in battle. The action of slinging is associated with both warfare and shepherding, where it was used to protect flocks from predators.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the sling was a common weapon used by shepherds and soldiers alike. It was a simple yet effective tool, consisting of a pouch and two cords, used to hurl stones with great accuracy and force. The sling was a symbol of skill and agility, often associated with young David, who famously used it to defeat Goliath. The use of the sling required practice and precision, making it a respected skill in ancient warfare.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
