What time did David and Goliath live?

In the eleventh century


Does the Bible say that David buried Goliath's head at Golgotha?

There is no record of this in the Bible. David also would not have known this place at that time. It referred to the name it had acquired in Jesus' time, presumably as a place of execution. The Bible does state in 1 Samuel17:54 "And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem;" So As we can see David used it as a trophy.


When did David kill Goliath?

King David has been well established in history trough archaeological finds. He slayed Goliath about 10 years before becoming king. The date would probably be around 500 years before Jesus. David first became king of Judah in 1010 BCE, when he was 30. This would mean that David slayed Goliath around 1023-1018 BCE, when he was somewhere around 17 to 22 years old.


Why did king david kill giant Goliath?

It's worth noting that David wasn't king when he killed Goliath. This is detailed in full in 1 Samuel chapter 17, but basically, the Israelites were constantly at war with the Philistines, and at one point, they camped their armies across from each other. The 9-foot champion of the Philistines was Goliath, and he challenged Israel to send out one man to fight him. All of the soldiers were too cowardly to accept this challenge. David was still living at home in Bethlehem at the time, but his three oldest brothers were fighting in the war. So David was sent back and forth between tending to the flocks of sheep at home and going to Saul's army. One day while he was bringing his brothers supplies from home, he arrived as Goliath was shouting his daily challenge that no one had yet accepted. He was outraged that none of the soldiers would fight Goliath, so he volunteered. And the rest, as they say, is history. He went out with five smooth stones and a sling because he was not comfortable in Saul's armor.


Why did david cut off goliath's head?

Your answer, to show it to Saul, would be incorrect. At that time Saul was with the army where the battle took place, at the Valley of Elah. He would have seen David slaying Goliath. [1 Samuel 17] Jerusalem at the time was still a Jebusite city, not a city of Israel. Jerusalem was not taken until after Saul had died and after David had been made King of Israel [in 2 Samuel 2]. [Jerusalem was not captured until 2 Samuel 5.]

What did David do in story David and golath in Samuel?

In the story of David and Goliath David was a young shepperd boy. He had brothers fighting in Saul's army at the time and was sent by his father to bring his brothers food. When he arrived he saw that Goliath was blaspheming God. He became upset and went into the king's tent and told the King he would fight Goliath. The king told him no at first but he was determined to fight for his God and eventually persuaded the king to allow him to fight Goliath. He walked to a stream picked 5 stones and using a sling shot hit Goliath in the middle of his with a rock killing the giant and sending the Philistines running with king Saul in shock.


Was king David and what did he do?

Kind David was the 2nd kind of Israel. He was the youngest of Jesse's sons and was a "man after God's own heart." He killed the giant Goliath with a sling while Goliath had a sword, spear, and javaline. And Goliath had armor and David had just his every day clothes. He was a Shepard boy that had killed a bear and a lion for his sheep single handedly with a stick. David commited 2 very bad sins, but repented, and ,as far as I know, is haveing a good, peaceful time in Heaven. Kind David was the 2nd kind of Israel.

Did bethlehemite take goliath name at his death?

Do you mean to say; "Did a Bethlehemite (or otherwise known as an inhabitant of Bethlehem in Judea), take Goliath's name and fame after his death?" If so, I do not see where you are going with this question, nor why such a conspiracy would occur since pre-King David there was no unification of Israel and Judea. David was just a boy during this event and not ruler as of yet. King Saul was head honcho at the time, whose son was best buddies with David, by the way. Giant slaying aside, what exactly was your question dear?
