1 | Did David or Elhanan kill Goliath? | 2 Sam 21:19 | Makarios | 9180 | ||
Did David kill Goliath as we read in 1 Sam. 17 or did Elhanan (2 Sam. 21:19)? | ||||||
2 | Did David or Elhanan kill Goliath? | 2 Sam 21:19 | EdB | 9276 | ||
Nolan yours and Prayon's answers are quite right but I think this says it most clearly. From the Book "When Critices Ask" ask by Norman Geisler and Thomas Howe publisher Victor Press, pg. 176 'The 2 Samuel text is probably a scribal error in copying the manuscripts and should read "Elhanan... slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite." This conculsion is supported by a parallel report of the story in 1 Chronicles 20:5 which has the missing highlighted phrase "Lahmi the brother of," thus showing it was the brother of Goliath that Elhanan killed and not Goliath, whom David slew just as 1 Samuael 17 reports.' |

3 | Did David or Elhanan kill Goliath? | 2 Sam 21:19 | Searcher56 | 9406 | ||
EdB ... Yes, that is possible. But, as I was reading the passages last night, I wondered if there could be a second man named Goliath. I wish there weren't all these copiest "problems" in the Bible. Steve |

Steve you might be right but I see Goliath having 4 brothers in the 2 Samuel 19 passage. I figure that is why David picked up 5 smooth stones 1 Sam 17:40. David thought he might have to fight and kill Goliath's 4 brothers, after he was finished with Goliath. | ||||||

Hello EdB! This is an excellent observation: "that is why David picked up 5 smooth stones 1 Sam 17:40. David thought he might have to fight and kill Goliath's 4 brothers, after he was finished with Goliath." 'stones': round and smooth and somewhat larger then a baseball (A). 'sling': the tools of the shepherd proved to be appropriate weapons also for Israel's shepherd (2 Sam. 5:2; 7:7; Psalm 78:72). One of David's honorable and chief men of battle, Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, slew a formidable Egyptian warrior (2 Sam. 23:20-21) with a staff like the one David carried toward Goliath (B). For the Benjamites' skill with a sling see Judg. 20:16 (A). One question: If David picked up five stones for Goliath and each one of his brothers, then how did David know that Goliath had four brothers? (A).. Zondervan NASB Study Bible (B)..
