Story of David and goliath

Answer 1

Get a Bible or look one up on the internet. Bibles are available on the Internet. Look in the contents for I Samuel. Go to chapter 17 and read it. It is also called First Samuel. It will look like I Samuel 17. That chapter has the story of David and Goliath.

Answer 2

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.

The most famous account is to be found in 1 Samuel. David had already had intimate acquaintance with Saul, when he became the king's armour bearer and then his personal musician (1 Samuel 16:21,23). 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 (1Samuel 17:30-39). Finally, after David had slain Goliath with a slingshot, Saul had the young warrior brought to him, but once again did not recognise David (1Samuel 17:58).

Another episode, at 2 Samuel 21:19 casts further light on the legend of Goliath. The Hebrew Bible in English (JPS 1917 Edition) says: "And there was again war with the Philistinesat Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Beth-lehemite slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam." In other words, there seems to be another, probably older, tradition that Elhanan killed Goliath. 1 Chronicles, written later and apparently dependent on the Deuteronomic History, attempted to resolve this in two ways. First, there is no mention of David killing Goliath, even though the Book of Kings presents this at the most important single feat leading to David being accepted as a potential king. Second, at 20:5, the book says that Lahmi (Elhanan) killed the brother of Goliath.

The King James (KJV) translation altered 2 Samuel 21:19 (in line with 1 Chronicles), adding 'the brother of' [in italics to indicate that this was not an exact translation], but most other English translations of the Book of Samuel seem to have more faithfully followed the Hebrew Bible version - in other words allowing the paradox to stand.

Answer 3

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. 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.

David had already had intimate acquaintance with King Saul, when he became the king's armour bearer and then his personal musician (1 Samuel 16:21,23). 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 (1 Samuel 17:30-39). The Bible says that David went on to become king of Israel, with 2 Samuel saying that the defeat of Goliath was a key reason for his ready acceptance by the Israelites.

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.
