Best Answer

According to 1 Samuel chapter 17, Goliath challenged the Israelites to a contest between himself and the best fighter among the Israelites. The young and untested David took up the challenge and killed Goliath with a slingshot and a stone. On the other hand,Jacob L. Wright, Associate Professor of Hebrew Bible at Emory University, has written that the most popular legends about David, including his killing of Goliath, his affair with Bathsheba and his ruling of a United Kingdom of Israel rather than just Judah, are the creation of those who lived generations after him, in particular those living in the late Persian or Hellenistic period. This would mean that it is not a true story.
