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.


Where is Goliath's head bury?

The story of Goliath was just a legend. He was killed by David in 1 Samuel chapter 17, but also by Elhanan in 2 Samuel 21:19 (Hebrew Bible in English (JPS 1917 Edition)) : "And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Beth-lehemite slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam." (The King James version inserts "brother of" into this passage to resolve this contradiction, but most other English translations retain the original Hebrew). The Chronicler appears not to have believed the story of David slaying Goliath, so omitted the story entirely.Since the story of Goliath was really just a legend we can not expect to find Goliath's skull on Golgotha or anywhere.


Was Goliath's head buried at Golgotha?

There is absolutely no source literature, not from the Early Church Fathers or any other source, which states that Goliath's head was buried at Golgotha. And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent. 1.Sam 17,54 According to this scripture, the head of Goliath was brought to Jerusalem. What happened to the head after this is never mentioned.

What is the literary term of golgotha?

Golgotha is not really a literary term. It is often related to suffering or to the redemption accomplished by Jesus in his death on Golgotha. Since the word Golgotha comes from the Hebrew word 'gulgoleth' and is 'gulgalta' in Aramaic, which mean 'skull', it is related also to death and the dead.
