He was a shepard. He worked for his father.
The occupation of David before the great battle with Goliath was a shepherd boy and he looked after his fathers flocks.(1 Samuel 17:32-37)
A:1 Samuel 17:4 calls Goliath a champion of the Philistines, suggesting that he was a great warrior who had indeed fought before. On the other hand, serious historians do not regard the story of David and Goliath as based on fact. Even Chronicles, in recounting the story of David, entirely omits the story of David and Goliath, suggesting that the Chronicler did not really believe the story. Historically, the giant Goliath had never fought before and did not fight David.
David's father sent him with a gift to his older brothers who were serving in the Israelite army. On arriving, David was shocked to hear the taunts of the Philistine giant, Goliath. Day after day this Goliath blasphemously and contemptuously challenges Israel to choose a man and let him come out and fight, but none reply. Saul quakes in his tent. However, David comes to hear the Philistine's taunts. With righteous indignation and inspired courage, David exclaims: "Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he has to taunt the battle lines of the living God?" (17:26) Rejecting Saul's armor because he had never tried it before, David goes out to do battle, equipped only with a shepherd's staff, a sling, and five smooth stones. Regarding a match with this young shepherd boy as beneath his dignity, Goliath calls down evil on David. (1 Samuel 17:1-44)
bouncer
He slayed Goliath about 10 years before becoming king. The date would probably be around 500 years before Jesus. David first became king of Judah in 1010 BCE, when he was 30. This would mean that David slayed Goliath around 1023-1018 BCE, when he was somewhere around 17 to 22 years old.
There is absolutely no source literature, not from the Early Church Fathers or any other source, which states that Goliath's head was buried at Golgotha. And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent. 1.Sam 17,54 According to this scripture, the head of Goliath was brought to Jerusalem. What happened to the head after this is never mentioned.

No. According to the Bible, David was an Israelite from the Tribe of Judah and Goliath was a Philistine from the city of Gath. Both of their places of origin would be found in either Israel or Palestine.

No, "occupation" should not be capitalized before another noun unless it is part of a proper noun or at the beginning of a sentence.
