Millions of young children have been taught the famous story of the future King David slaying the Philistine giant, Goliath, to guide them to understand the greatness of David and, perhaps, his God. Goliath was a fierce giant whom no one in Saul's army would dare fight, but David killed him with a stone from his slingshot.
This story may have been added to 1 Samuel after the Babylonian Exile, since it is not included in the Chronicles account of David. Its omissions from the Book of Chronicles could mean either that the story was unknown to the Chronicler, who relied on the Deuteronomic History (Samuel and Kings) as one of his main sources, or that he did not believe the story to be true.
