Goliath in the Bible, a Philistine giant and warrior, according to legend killed by David (1 Samuel 17) armed only with a sling and ‘five smooth stones’; the contest between the young David and Goliath is often taken as a type of apparently unequal combat.
According to another tradition, the giant killed by David was originally unnamed, and Goliath was killed by Elhanan (2 Samuel 21:19).
