"There are other inconsistencies as well. For example, in 1 Samuel 17, David is credited with killing the giant Goliath. But in 2 Samuel 21:19, Elhanan, son of Jaareoregim, is credited with the act. Another point to mention is that if you look in the popular King James Version (KJV) of The Bible, and turn to 2 Samuel 21:19, you will see "the brother of" (Goliath) in italics. This italic print means that it was an embellishment of the editor of the KJV, in an attempt to cover up this inconsistency (by making it appear that Elhanan killed the brother of Goliath, as opposed to Goliath himself). But if you look in a reputable version of the Bible, such as the New English Bible, you will see the original rendition: that Elhanan killed Goliath... an obvious contradiction." Who killed Goliath?David killed him twice. (Once with a sling and once with a sword.) ; 1 Samuel 17:49-50 : David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth. David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David. ; 1 Samuel 17:51 : David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. ; Elhanan ;
; 2 Samuel 21:19 : And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. [The words "the brother of" were inserted by the KJV translators to avoid the obvious contradiction with 1 Samuel 17:49-51.] ; Hey guys. Before this goes any further, go and look up the word Anakim in your bible. they were an entire race of giants :
:
: At a later point in time David kills six(?) more giants...
"Inconsistencies" such as whether David or Elhanan killed Goliath, and whether "the brother of" was inserted as a "cover-up", can be quickly resolved with a simple reading of a parallel passage, 1 Chronicles, 20:5, which says that Elhanan "killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath". What we have is a copying error, where "the brother of" was mistakenly omitted from the original. The King James writers were correct to insert it into 1 Samuel. No contradiction, no inconsistency. Simple reason and a little Bible knowledge will clear all of these types of things up.
thebrotherjohn response:1 Samuel 17:40
And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
Ephesians 4:11
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers.
:0) I enjoy this passage because the five smooth stones represent the ascension ministries washed by the water of the word and holy ghost, taken from the brook.
I don't know which ministry killed Goliath but i bet it was the evangelist because Goliath wasn't even saved lol.
David did not kill Goliath in a city, but rather in a field known as the Valley of Elah.
In the bible the battle between Goliath and David was fought on the plains called Ela also called the Valley of Elah. The full story can be found in 1 Samuel 17.
Goliath, slung a sling and a rock.
David fought Goliath as no one was willing to fight Goliath.

David killed the giant Goliath.
David killed Goliath with a stone.
No David was not at all scared of Goliath at all . In fact he said I come in the name of the living god and I shall kill you , and the birds of the air will devour you.
