According to 1 Samuel 17, David Slew Goliath.
According to 2 Samuel 21:19 it was Elhanan (not David) who slew Goliath. The editors of the King James Version added the words "the brother of" to avoid the obvious contradiction. This is shown by the italics in the KJV. see link "sample Chapter:96. David killed Goliath. 2 Samuel 21:19[8] tells how Goliath the Gittite's brother was killed by "Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, the Bethlehemite." The name of Goliath's brother is not given until 1 Chronicles 20,[9] by saying that Elhanan "slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath," apparently constructing the name Lahmi from the last portion of the word "Bethlehemite" ("beit-ha'lahmi").[10] The King James Bible translators adopted this into their translation of 2 Samuel 21:18-19, although the Hebrew text makes no mention of the word "brother". 2 Samuel 21 appears to be an extremely corrupt passage: "Jaare-oregim," the name of Elhanan's father, means a nonsensical "forest of weaver's beams", and seems to have been copied from Goliath's weaponry (Goliath has a spear "with a shaft like a weaver's beam"). Dr. Baruch Halpern believes that David's opponent probably had no name originally, being referred to simply as "the Philistine" (the name Goliath is applied to him only twice in 1 Samuel 17): "Most likely, storytellers displaced the deed from the otherwise obscure Elhanan onto the more famous character, David."[11] . see link Goliath Wikipedia

When is David first mentioned in the Bible?
A:There is an extensive story of King David in the Deuteronomic History (1 Samuel from chapter 16, 2 Samuel and 1 Kings to 2:10) and a somewhat different story of King David in 1 Chronicles. The most famous story of King David, in which he slays the Philistine giant, Goliath, is in the Deuteronomic History at 1 Samuel chapter 17. The First Book of Chronicles, written later and apparently dependent on the Deuteronomist History, makes no mention of David killing Goliath, even though the History presents this at the most important single feat leading to David being accepted as a potential king.The Book of Chronicles makes it seem that David was married to his full sister. 1 Chron 2:13-16 says that David's sister was Abigail, while 3:1 commences a genealogy, with Abigail his second wife. These are the only two Abigails in the entire Bible, so it is implausible that David simply married the only known woman in all Hebrew history to have the same name as his sister. If the Chronicler did not intend to portray David as having married his own sister, then this must be expalined as occurring because the Chronicler used an invented name on two occasions, but overlooked the consequences because of the complexity of the family trees scattered through the book.The Deuteronomic History contains a lengthy diversion about David's son, Absalom, an uprising led by Sheba, the son of Bichri, and a number of attempted coups. Bath-Sheba, the mother of Solomon, asked the bed-ridden and dying King David to make her son king after him. 1 Chronicles omits all this material, and has King David, while still in apparent good health and not yet bed-ridden, announce to the people of Israel that God had chosen Solomon to be his heir.
