Goliath the Gittite was a legendary giant who fought on the side of the Philistines, who occupied the rich coastal plains of Palestine, from Egypt to about a far north as modern Tel Aviv.

Two conflicting stories in The Bible are evidence that Goliath was a 'bogy-man' of legend, rather than a real person. 1 Samuel chapter 30 reports that the future king, David, killed Goliath. But 2 Samuel 21:19 says that Elhanan killed the same Goliath.

1 Chronicles, written probably a hundred years after the Deuteronomist history (which includes the Books of Samuel) and apparently dependent on the Deuteronomist 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.

So, the biblical evidence points to Goliath not really having existed, as does the archaeological evidence. If Goliath was just a myth, it is not really possible to say whether his brother had different coloured eyes. Any legendary tradition about the colour of his eyes is just speculation.

Does Samantha the American girl come in different eyes?

No, the Historical American Girl Dolls do not come with different colored eyes. However, the Just Like You ® Dolls have all different colors of skin, hair, and eyes. Instead of Samantha with different eyes, you could buy a Just Like You ® Doll with light skin, dark brown hair, and--for example--green or blue eyes. She would not be the same doll, but would look very similar and have different colored eyes. I hope this answers your question.
