Why did David and Goliath fight?
Quite frankly I don't think they ever fought. There were a lot of verbal challenges and name-calling. When David finally entered the scene, he picked up 5 stones from the valley; David made a little speech, and headed straight over toward Goliath; and slung the first stone right into Goliath's forehead. The dude dropped like a flat cake. The fight ended before it got started. David cut off his head with Goliath's own sword. And the other guys all scattered like quail every-which-way. Now that's the way it's done.ANSWER:The complete answer is found in 1 Samuel 17. Here one can read that the Philistines were encroaching upon Judean lands (verse 3). These Philistines put forth a 'champion' (a Hebrew expression for 'a go-between' or warrior who will fight a single combat as a stand-in for the entire armies). Now begins the great story of faith of David who had just defeated a lion and bear a short time before this and this probably gave him faith to trust God for victory over Goliath (Philistine champion).We read in verse 45-47, that David would go before Goliath in the NAME OF THE LORD OF HOST, the God of the armies of Israel. Host here refers to God as Commander over the armies of heaven and Israel via the covenatal relationship with the Israelites. David was depending upon the power of God as the Warrior and Defender of His people as Exodus 15:3 states.Now David as Israel's champion appeared as a shepherd boy chasing a dog or wolf away from his flock vis-a-vis Goliath who stood nearly 10 foot tall in full battle gear. Yet, in verse 48 we read how David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. He took out a stone and slung it, striking Goliath in the forehead, killing him. Then David, not having a sword, took Goliath's sword and cut off his head. When the Philistines saw this improbable if not impossible outcome for their champion by the champion of Israel, they fled.Complete reading comprehension requires a full reading of the events described in chapter 17. The word fight has shades of meanings but the one in your question suggest:A confrontation between opposing groups in which each attempts to harm or gain power over the other, as with bodily force or weapons.A quarrel or conflict.Being such, the above answer does fully satisfy this question. However, it is strongly suggested that you read and study Scripture directly and not depend on anyone for answers. You and you alone are responsible for your Salvation. Have a good read :)
Is the story of David and Goliath a myth?
A: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, but the story is undoubtedly a myth.The area, where Goliath and the other mythical giants of the Bible are supposed to have lived, is one of the most heavily worked archaeological region on earth, yet no skeletal remains of giants have ever been found. No huge residences in which a giant could have lived; no oversize pottery or eating implements; nothing.The story's omissions from the Book of Chronicles could mean either that the story was unknown to the Chronicler or that he did not believe the story to be true. It is believed that the story may have been added to 1 Samuel after the Babylonian Exile, which is of course centuries after the time Davis is supposed to have fought Goliath.
Why was David from the Bible chosen by God?
There are plenty of things that are special about King David but the most important is that because he believed in God be overcame his fear, and fought a 9 foot tall giant named Goliath. He knew that God was going to help him win so he let Saul put on his armor and David fought the Giant. Everyone was scared of the giant even the Isrealights. At the end of the fight David picked up five smooth rocks and swung them from a sling shot at Goliath, it the giant straight in the forehead. Goliath fell to the ground and died. Today there is a statue to remember how special King David was in Italy... to be specific, Rome. I went to the memorial and it was a lot of I would recommend it a lot!! From Kaitlyn K.
Why does the Book of Chronicles leave King Solomon and King David out?
----------------------- The Books of Kings are believed to have been written during the reign of King Josiah of Judah, during the seventh century BCE, and with his authorisation. They present the legendary ancestors of King Josiah in a glorious light, with David slaying the mighty Goliath and Solomon as the wisest king there ever was. The two Books of Chronicles provide a history that more or less parallels the Deuteronomic history, but presents the priestly point of view. It covers Kings David and Solomon, but here the priests and prophets are more important than in the earlier accounts. Some of the more improbable passages in the Deuteronomic History were altered or omitted, as were some references to the polytheistic past. The story of David slaying Goliath was entirely omitted. The various attempted coups against David were omitted, and the succession of Solomon was attributed to God rather than to political necessity.
What ever happened to David Young who appeared on Maverick in 1982?

Where is Goliath's armor today?
No one has ever seen Goliath's armour, nor any artefacts that prove he ever existed. Even the Book of Chronicles, a later rewrite of the Deuteronomic History that includes the Books of Samuel and Kings, has omitted the story of David and Goliath possibly because the story was not believed. If Goliath's armour ever existed, it has long since disappeared.
Did Goliath ever fight?
Yes. Goliath was referred to as a 'man of war from his youth.' (1 Samuel 17:33).
What weapon did David used while he is living a life of a fugitive from King Saul?
Look in 1 Samuel 21:8,9 David is fleeing from Saul & he goes to the city of Nob to speak to the priest Ahimelech. He says: Have you not here a spear or a sword at hand, For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me. Ahimelech gives him Goliath's sword that he had been keeping ever since David killed Goliath

Was David a giant-killing king who joined together Israel and Judah?
The evidence is conflicting. Even the Bible seems to be unsure about David's battle with Goliath, while scholars doubt whether Israel and Judah were ever joined together, some even doubting the existence of David himself.According to the biblical story in 1 Samuel, David definitely did kill giants, including the famous Goliath. According to 1 Chronicles, David does not seem to have killed Goliath, even though the First Book of Samuel gives this battle as the most important reason for the eventual acceptance of David as king. In terms of history and the archaeological record, there is no evidence of any skeletons, artefacts or independent records to show that a giant ever lived.According to the Bible, David ruled over a United Monarchy of Israel and Judah. Finkelstein and Silberman (The Bible Unearthed) believe that the kingdoms of Israel and Judah were always separate, with different life styles, different pottery, different myths and legends, and even speaking different dialects of Hebrew. They insist there is no evidence the kingdoms ever were united.
