technically Saul [1st Samuel 17, but actually Saul was rejected by Yahweh as king over yisrael back in chapter 15:26; so textually; HOWEVER - because david was anointed by the prophet Samuel as king in 16:13; the death of goliath happened in chap 17....so

saul rejected-15:23

david anointed-16:13

goliath killed-17:15

you could then say that david was king when he killed goliath :)
