The artists use images from their own period. Ignoring David, Goliath is wearing medieval armor, not something from "whatever" BC. This sort of thing runs throughout the religious art of the Middle Ages. About the only ones dressed appropriately might be Adam and Eve, if you could call that dressed.
Because this topic is called "more medieval sling pictures", not "clothes David might have actually worn 2000 years earlier".

that are only religious pics of the fight between david and goliath...
donīt you have any pics of battle scene
If you browse through the topics of this board, you will certainly find quite a number of very interesting pictures from the middle ages showing slings. Of course, they are mostly depictions of David and Goliath, but the clothing and a number of details of the slings and the way they are held is authentic for the respective period when the paintings/drawings/reliefs etc were made.
Pictures of slings other than from the David/Goliath story do exist, but they seem to be comparatively rare for the middle ages. One is the famous slinger from the Bayeux Tepestry, others can be seen here
