Goliath of Gath (one of five city states of the Philistines) was a
giant Philistine warrior defeated by the young David, the future king
of Israel. The story is told in the Bible's Books of Samuel (1
Samuel
17). The original purpose of the story was to show David's identity as the
true king of Israel. Post-Classical Jewish traditions stressed
Goliath's status as the representative of paganism, in contrast to David, the champion of the God of Israel. Christian tradition gave
him a distinctively Christian perspective, seeing in David's battle
with Goliath the victory of God's king
over the enemies of God's helpless people as a prefiguring of Jesus' victory over sin on the
cross and the Church's victory over Satan.

The phrase "David and Goliath" has taken on a more secular
meaning, denoting an underdog situation, a contest where a smaller,
weaker opponent faces a much bigger, stronger adversary.

The account of the battle between David and Goliath is told in 1
Samuel, chapter 17. Saul and the Israelites are facing the
Philistines near the Valley of Elah. Twice a day for 40 days,
Goliath, the champion of the Philistines, comes out between the
lines and challenges the Israelites to send out a champion of their
own to decide the outcome in single combat, but Saul and all the
Israelites are afraid. David, bringing food for his elder brothers,
hears that Goliath had defied the armies of God and of the reward
from Saul to the one that defeats him, and accepts the challenge.
Saul reluctantly agrees and offers his armor, which David declines,
taking only hisstaff, sling and five stones from a brook.

David and Goliath confront each other, Goliath with his armor and
javelin, David with his staff and sling. "The Philistine cursed
David bodies of the host of the Philistines this day to the birds of
the
air and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that
there is a God in Israel, and that all this assembly may know that
God saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is God’s, and he
will give you into our hand." David hurls a stone from his sling
with all his might and hits Goliath in the center of his forehead,
Goliath falls on his face to the ground, and David cuts off his head.
The Philistines flee and are pursued by the Israelites "as far
as Gath and the gates of Ekron". David puts the armor of Goliath
in his own tent and takes the head to Jerusalem, and Saul sends Abner
to bring the boy to him. The king asks whose son he is, and David
answers, "I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite."

Playing second fiddle to the Star Of David is his larger than life
character named Goliath. He got big shoes to fill and the biblical
account of their battle read like a Hollywood script. Could it
possibly be that the Bible is a Novel that was created for
Hollywood....conspiracy!!! Whatever the motives..The character is as
phoney as a two dollar bill and is not real.
