Michelangelo's sculpture of David is a metaphor for: courage, because when facing the giant he was not scared, determination, because he was determined to serve God, and strength, because he was a warrior and defeated the enemies of God.
Michelangelo's model of David is a similitude for bravery since when confronting the mammoth he was not terrified, assurance since he was resolved to serve God and quality since he was a warrior and crushed the adversaries of God.
