The Truth About David And Goliath 

I find it more than a little awkward how he knew Goliath was uncircumcised.

So never mind the fact that the Bible talks about how David had a heart that repented for his sin. Don't make him out to be the bad guy. Sure he did some bad things but he had a heart that was repentant. This is why God loved him and stayed with him. You guys conveniently leave that out!

The Sling was a deadly weapon! They made Bolts to throw in them! And practiced enough to use with pin point accuracy.

You missed a bit...Raphah of Gath was the father of several giants, including Goliath....and also a twelve fingered twelve toed giant. Goliath was not the only giant Israel fought. And other names for giants in the scriptures are Anakims, Emims and Zazummims. 1 Chronicles Chapter 20 relates a lot: Sibbechai the Hushatite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant; Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear shaft was like a weaver's beam; And again, there was a war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand and six on each foot and also he was the son of the giant. Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him. And the chapter concludes with verse 8: "These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants."

According to Malcolm Gladwell, David always had the edge in the fight, because Goliath was expecting close combat with swords. David didn't need to get close to him, and an expert with the sling was very effective at a distance.

This is where my family name comes from. Son of David= Davidson.

Strangely enough, Goliath and his sons had six fingers on each of their hands.

"6'9" well within normal range" Me: "not back then..."

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.

I don’t understand the point in talking about the second story? Unless you’re just trying to make him seem morally reprehensible, or discredit him in someway? It is always a returning theme that although the “main characters” of the Old Testament might be living & working for something greater, they are still only flawed humans, & still make terrible mistakes themselves (called sins). No matter what level of good they achieve. I mean, there’s a reason why Cain killed Abel, and then started humanity himself. There are devils and angels in all of us.

Lord Jesus Christ thank you for caring for us. He knows many have problems right now. He can help you with everything. Just ask and you will see what He can do for you!!!

Wow.

You lost me at “Decepticons”

Interesting fact: Goliath, Prince of Gath. Son of Orpah, daughter-in-law to Ruth, David's great-grandmother was his own cousin whom he slew.

God is good

Cool video , keep em comin fam

David was a complex character, but far from a "villain." He is a massive hero of the ancient Jewish tradition, and worth more respect than this short video gives him.

The producer of this film obviously doesn't comprehend the Bible nor the lessons taught...

I thought this would actually be educational. David didn't actually kill Goliath. It is pure legend of the beloved king David. Elhanan killed goliath as recorded in 2 Samuel 21:15. In 1 Samuel 16 Saul looks from someone to play the lyre. He then meets David son of Jesse the Bethlehemite. Saul knew who Jesse the Bethlehemite was because he reached out to him to allow his son to play music. Fast forward to 1 Samuel 17:55-56... As soon as Saul saw David go out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is this youth?” And Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I do not know.” And the king said, “Inquire whose son the boy is.” Now Saul, who reached out to Jesse the Bethlehemite to ask his boy David to play doesn't know of Jesse the Bethlehemite nor does his army commander? Another falsity in the story is David cuts Goliath's head off and takes it to Jerusalem (1 Samuel 17:54). At the time of this story Jerusalem was under Jebusite control. It would be years later before king David and his men conquered Jerusalem (2 Samuel 5:6-9) This is just a legend of the beloved King David. It wasn't written to deceive. But it did sneak into the scrolls of Samuel. The story widely was accepted and a couple hundred years later the chronicler of 1 Chronicles 20:5 fixed the "error" buy writing the word _weaver_ twice and changing a couple jots and tittles. Now instead of _Bethlehemite_ (house of bread) it makes Goliath have a brother named _Lahmi_ (the Bread). No Philistines had these types of names. Lahmi was made up out of respect for the David story. The chronicler even left out all the other bad things David to not shine a bad light on David. David did not kill Goliath. It is pure legend/myth. Elhanan, one of David's fighting men killed Goliath AFTER David becomes king and AFTER he conquered Jerusalem. David may have taken Goliath's head to Jerusalem... but NOT when he was just a boy.

If you only knew David's heritage

Anyway to those gamers like myself. Very simple "come here" "get over here" "finish him" "flawless victory" "fatality".😅🤣

Second

The roots of many religious stories are generally derived / inspired from fantastical ancient mythical works. The lliad of Homer. Greek mythology .The Odyssey Big badass Cyclops defeated by Odysseus. Cyclops was pastoral he had flocks of sheep. His 1 eye was big but not a great peeper 👁️ So depending on the interpretation - Odysseus clothed in sheepskin defeated him or Ody and his men clung to the sheep and took out Cy

Goliath was a giant and had many brother's that also were giants. They had the nephilim blood line. 6 fingers on each hand and foot. Double rows of teeth.

6'9 extremely tall. Like 9 or 10 feet nowadays

Back then they were giants. Now they’re called basketball players

Literally 99% of people won’t see this comment but god bless you during these hard times, I’m struggling to try hit 500 subs

King David is a cornerstone to the Jewish and Christian religions all around the world. Calling hin "mythology" is disrespectful. And personally, I thought there would be more information than this.

The GOD I worship (The God of israel) is the GOD of the impossiblest

Third💃💃

6 feet is really tall considering most people are 5'4 back in the day

God favors cheaters

How dare you bring up the subject of translation differences and call this "mythology"! 😂

This reminds me of the episode of South Park when the Mary in the church came on her period

Mythology? If you're going to be disrespectful then just dont talk about it.

David sounds like an Ancient Hunter Biden 😂

The truth, facts, or fiction, who is going to know. History was written by people. People tend to make it more interesting.

Ms. Murray O'Hair said it best:" Superstition and mysticism".

Goliath fought a man with a ranged weapon ofcourse he lost

And we are all going to believe in the bible as history?

I knew it was all fake and a lie. So David and Goliath is just another alternative of bringing a knife in a gun fight. Although this looks like Goliath was promised that it would be a fair melee fight.

Come on, Man, it's all about faith!❤✝️🙏

David shot first.

Goliaths sword was taken by David along with him armor and placed in the temple. Mr Ron Wyatt in the 1980's found the sword in the cavern along with the Ark. The sword was unusual.

It never said a child killed Goliath. David was a man. He was the youngest of the brothers. That does not mean he was a child

It's all about the internal landscape.

A very good video msdhanju

The books in the Dead Sea scroll are not scripture.

I'm just here for the comments

the story maybe in the same tradition of George Washington chopping down the cherry, more of story to build up David than an actual event.

Elhanan killed goliath

The Bible hasn't lied yet but ok "mythology"

I guess whoever made this video hasnt read the bible - two different people are credited with Goliath's death. Check it out! Just another contradiction 😂

Goliath was 6 feet 9 inches tall. Still tall for what heights men were in that area of the globe. It, has also been determined that David was a boy, when he killed Goliath and cut off his head. Some Biblical Scholars disagree. And claim he was a young man, in his late teens.

David killed Goliath

His poor ethical behavior as king is no surprise for someone who brought a long range weapon to a combat by champions... Spears would have been acceptable due to their short range, low velocity, and ability to function as a melee weapon as well. A sling...not so much.

It’s all fake and make believe

David and Goliath are cousins

David didnt even kill Goliath…

First

"Mythological stories".... No, sir. The Bible is the real, inspired Word of God. Unsubscribed!!!!

What a crock. I thought the "truth" was that they were lovers.(😜)😷👍

Disliked.

Its a fairytale
