Story of Goliath und davit house

Eyüp ÜNSAL

The story of David and Goliath David faces Goliath in single combat. Goliath (גָּלְיָת Hebrew Golyat) was a legendary Philistine warrior written of in the Bible. A descendant of Rapha in a lineage of giants, he is most famous for his battle with David, the young patriot who would later become the King of Israel. In rabbinical tradition, Goliath, hailing from Goth, one of five ancient city states in Philistia, is said to be the very warrior who had earlier captured the Ark of the Covenant from the Israelites in the mid eleventh century B.C.E. The account of David and Goliath (Jaloot) is given both in the Hebrew Bible and in the Qur'an. Recent archaeological evidence suggests that even if no race of giants actually existed in Gath at this time, a name similar to "Goliath" was indeed used in the area. An alternate biblical account says that Goliath was killed by a man name Elhanan, rather than David.
