Millions 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. David had already had intimate acquaintance with Saul, when he became the king's armour bearer and then his personal musician. A little later, David told Saul that he would fight Goliath, so Saul offered him his own personal armour, but did not appear to recognise David. Finally, after David had slain Goliath, Saul had the young warrior brought to him, but once again did not recognise David. The likely explanation for this is that the account blends together several different legends, without attempting to harmonise them. Perhaps this is why the Book of Chronicles omits David's defeat of Goliath, even though the Deuteronomic History saw this as the most important reason David was accepted as king. If there is underlying truth in the story as it comes down to us, then David attempted to wear Saul's armour. Chronicles' rejection of this story would mean that David did not attempt to wear any armour,because he did not fight Goliath.
David fought Goliath as no one was willing to fight Goliath.
