He was in a war, and was obviously willing to kill David, so he must have killed other people. Also, many other people must have tried to kill Goliath but didn't succeed. So yes, he probably did.

∙ 8y agoDavid took 5 stones for his sling, killed Goliath with one, and kept the other 4 to kill his 4 brothers with.
- 1Sa 17:40 KJV And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to [Goliath] .
Goliath was from Gath, and Goliath had four sons -the name of one son is unknown, but the others were Ishbibenob, Saph, and Lahmi.
-
1Sa 17:4 And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
2Sa 21:22 These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Ishbibenob:- 2Sa 21:16-17 And Ishbibenob, which was of the sons of the giant, ...thought to have slain David. (v.17) But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him....
Saph:-
2Sa 21:18 And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant.
Name Unknown :- 2Sa 21:20-21 And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature,... and he also was born to the giant.[that is, he was Goliath's son] (v.21) And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea the brother of David slew him.
Lahmi:- 2Sa 21:19 And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brotherof Goliath the Gittite [that is, 'Lahmi'- see 1Chron 20:5],... 1Ch 20:5 There was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi thebrother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
In the King James [KJV] of The Bible 2Sam 21:22 says Goliath had 4 sons, and other verses state specifically they were each killed in battle. This means the four killed were not 3 out of four of Goliath's own sons and also Goliath's brother Lahmi, thus leaving 1 son alive, but rather all 4 of Goliath's sons. Lahmi is called the 'brother' of Goliath in both 2Sa 21:19 and 1Ch 20:5 . However, the word 'brother'is in italics, meaning it was not in the original Hebrew text but was added by the KJV translators to help non-Hebrews understand the meaning. In this particular case they got it wrong: it should have been "son" and not "brother".
The word "brother" is Strong's H251 meaning ''A primitive word; a brother (used in the widest sense of literal relationship and metaphorical affinity or resemblance ..."
For example, although it may help to think of Lahmi as Goliath's brother warrior, he was not the brother of Goliath, that is, not Goliath's sibling.
Although David killed Goliath, his 4 brothers were all killed by others in David's army.

∙ 8y agoMillions of young children have been taught the famous story of David slaying the Philistine giant, Goliath, to guide them to understand the greatness of David and, perhaps, his God. Another giant-killer, in 2 Samuel 21:19 was Elhanan, who also slew Goliath. The Hebrew Bible in English (JPS 1917 Edition) says: And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Beth-lehemite slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. Here, I have quoted the Hebrew Bible in English because the King James (KJV) translation says 'the brother of Goliath' [the brother of in italics to indicate that this was not an exact translation], but most other English translations of the Book of Samuel seem to have continued with the Hebrew Bible version.
In fact, The Book of Chronicles omits the story of David killing Goliath, even though the Book of Kings presents this at the most important single feat leading to David being accepted as a potential king.

Who died when he was hit on the forehead by a stone from a sling?
The person who died when hit on the forehead by a stone from a sling was Goliath, as recounted in the biblical story of David and Goliath. Goliath was a Philistine giant who was defeated by the young shepherd David using a sling and a stone.
How old was Goliath when he died?
There is no specific age given for Goliath when he died in the Bible. He is described as a giant warrior defeated by David in the story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17, but his exact age is not mentioned.
How tall is Goliath at six cubits?
Goliath, the Philistine champion from Gath from 1 Samuel chapter 17, stood 6 cubits and 1 span in height which totals about 9.75 feet or 3 meters.Note the Greek version and Dead Sea Scroll read this as 4 cubits and 1 span which is 6.75 feet (2 meters). In any case Goliath was a giant of a man and some bible translations indicate his height as almost twice as tall as most men.
What verse In the KJV Bible tells of Goliath having 12 fingers and 12 toes?
The verse you are referring to is 2 Samuel 21:20 in the KJV Bible. It mentions that there was a man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, but this is not specifically about Goliath.
In the Bible who besides David killed a giant?
According to 1 Samuel 17, David Slew Goliath.According to 2 Samuel 21:19 it was Elhanan (not David) who slew Goliath. The editors of the King James Version added the words "the brother of" to avoid the obvious contradiction. This is shown by the italics in the KJV. see link "sample Chapter:96. David killed Goliath. 2 Samuel 21:19[8] tells how Goliath the Gittite's brother was killed by "Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, the Bethlehemite." The name of Goliath's brother is not given until 1 Chronicles 20,[9] by saying that Elhanan "slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath," apparently constructing the name Lahmi from the last portion of the word "Bethlehemite" ("beit-ha'lahmi").[10] The King James Bible translators adopted this into their translation of 2 Samuel 21:18-19, although the Hebrew text makes no mention of the word "brother". 2 Samuel 21 appears to be an extremely corrupt passage: "Jaare-oregim," the name of Elhanan's father, means a nonsensical "forest of weaver's beams", and seems to have been copied from Goliath's weaponry (Goliath has a spear "with a shaft like a weaver's beam"). Dr. Baruch Halpern believes that David's opponent probably had no name originally, being referred to simply as "the Philistine" (the name Goliath is applied to him only twice in 1 Samuel 17): "Most likely, storytellers displaced the deed from the otherwise obscure Elhanan onto the more famous character, David."[11] . see link Goliath Wikipedia=== === === ===
