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

The person who died when hit on the forehead by a stone from a sling was Goliath, as recounted in the biblical story of David and Goliath. Goliath was a Philistine giant who was defeated by the young shepherd David using a sling and a stone.
Oh, dude, Goliath was like super old when he died. He was around 40 years old, which is like ancient in giant years. Can you imagine being a 40-year-old giant? Like, that's practically retirement age in giant terms.
In the biblical story of David and Goliath, there is no explicit mention of Goliath killing anyone. Goliath was a champion of the Philistines who challenged the Israelites to single combat, but he was ultimately defeated by David with a slingshot and a stone. Goliath's defeat led to the rout of the Philistine army, but there is no record of him killing anyone before his own demise.

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.
David killed the Egyptian Giant
David...with God's help.
If you are referring to David in the Holy Bible, then the answer is because He was blessed by God. He also killed Goliath (who was a Philistine giant & enemy of Israel).
David killed the giant Goliath.
David is known for being a shepherd who later became the second king of Israel and Judah, ruling around 1000 BC. He is also famously known for defeating the giant Goliath with a slingshot. David is a central figure in the Bible, particularly in the books of Samuel and Psalms.
David was a shepherd boy. He killed the Philistine giant Goliath with a stone and God's help.
David defeated the giant named Goliath with a stone and sling.
I Samuel 17:40 tells us that David chose 5 smooth stones, but there is no mention of why the number 5? David was like most persons in that no one would take just one bullet for a pistol against a giant or an enemy soldier.
David (the boy) defeated Goliath (the giant)in the book of Samuel. I adore this tale and I am so glad others have similar interests in it!
Goliath was the giant who fought against a young King David in the Old Testament of the Bible. Goliath's mother was David's mother's sister in law, Orpah.
Many people say that that the giant died when David threw the stone at his forehead. But the Bible clearly specifies in 1 Samuel 17:51 "therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of his sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it." Basically Goliath was decapitated.
1 Samuel 17:7 says that Goliath carried a spear that was like a weaver's beam, when he was killed by David. This description was the same as the spear that Goliath was carrying when Elhanan killed him, in 2 Samuel 21:19 (The Hebrew Bible in English, JPS 1917 Edition), although the King James Version renders this as the brother of Goliath, with "the brother of " in italics to show that it was not a true translation.
