He was Six cubits tall, which is 18-22 inches Per cubit. So he was about 10 feet tall, and the average weight for a person 5 feet tall is is about 135, but he was a big dude, so he was probably anywhere from 300-400 pounds.

If you name a tiny Chihuahua Goliath or Killer is that considered a hyperbole?

Yes, pretty much. "Hyperbole" in language means "inflated or exaggerated." So "Goliath" and "Killer" would be hyperbolic names for a chihuahua.


Where does it say in the bible that david used a slingshot and stone to kill goliath?

The Book of Samuel, Chapter 17 of the Old Testament gives the account of Goliath and David (who slew Goliath). Whether David actually killed Goliath when he hit him in the forehead with the stone is not entirely clear although verse 50 says "So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David." That implies that the stone killed him but it's not certain. At any rate after Goliath collapsed, David took Goliath's sword out of it's sheath and cut off Goliath's head. At that point he was definitely dead. In theory someone wielding a sling can get a stone up to sufficient velocity to cause fatal damage when it strikes someone in the head. A sling can be used to fire a projectile at speeds approaching 140 mph. At such high speeds, if the blow didn't kill Goliath, it certainly would have knocked him cold. There is no mention of him putting up any resistance to the much smaller shepherd boy coming up to his prostrate form, taking the sword out of its scabbard, and STANDING ON HIM to cut off his head, so he had to either be dead or at least totally dead to the world (unconscious).
