Who killed Goliath
The story of David and Goliath is one of the most famous in the Bible. The first book of Samuel records how David killed the giant, Goliath of
I Samuel 17:50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him…
Curiously, however, the Old Testament records another battle, in which Goliath the Gittite was slain yet again:
II Samuel 21:19 And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
(The words ‘the brother of’ were added by the King James Translators in a very transparent attempt to get around the problem).
