Did David kill Goliath or was it Elhanan?

Elhanan killed the brother of Goliath.  The King James is clear, and this is also a different battle & different location.

hi,\n God chooses ppl who are obedient to what He asks of them... Therefore i would say that would have a large bearing on why Gideon was chosen. i haven't studied the full story properly but from what i have seen in a read through i would say he was as faithful to God as he could be. and that is all that God asks of each of us....\nGod bless u\nShaz\nx x x x x

II think the answer to your Q is at about the 13th paragraph:\n\n\n\n\nWorld's fate hangs on 35 acres: Hal Lindsey looks at growing strife in Israel \n\nNews/Current Events Editorial\nSource: WorldNetDaily.com\nPublished: Wednesday, February 21, 2001 \nPosted on 02/21/2001 00:19:56 PST by JohnHuang2 \n\nI know this must sound crazy, but I believe the fate of the world will be determined by an ancient feud over 35 acres of land. As we look at all of the threats and dangers facing our planet, and evaluate how the major powers and nations fit in, it seems incredible that one small nation, which contains a plot of 35 unusual acres, holds the key to all our futures. \n\nThis may sound arrogant at best, and insane at worst, but I believe there are sound, logical reasons behind my opinion. You may not agree with the following history, but the important thing is, the feuding participants do. \n\nBack on the edge of known history, this area is first mentioned. A priest came to bless Abraham, the forefather of both the Israelites and the Arabs. It was written, "Melchezidek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of God Most High." Salem was an early name for Jerusalem, which was a town in Canaan. The major part of this town was a special place called Mount Moriah. This was the beginning of our knowledge of this place. \n\nAbout 40 years later, Abraham was directed by God to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice on this very same mountain. When God saw that Abraham would by faith obey Him, He stopped the sacrifice and provided an animal as a substitute. In response, Abraham named the mountain, "The place where the LORD will provide." \n\nAbout one thousand years later, in approximately 1005 BC, Israel's King David finally captured this city, which was then called "Jebus" and renamed it Jerusalem. Soon after that, David offered a sacrifice of repentance on Mount Moriah. He announced that God had directed Him to build a permanent temple of worship there. \n\nDavid's son Solomon did build a temple there that became the center of Israel's spiritual life. Israel's prophets soon began to warn future generations that their decline in faith and rebellion was going to bring a judgment that would destroy the Temple and Jerusalem. The prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah even predicted that this judgment would come through Nebuchadnezzar, the king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. \n\nJeremiah predicted that the Israelites would be taken and held captive in Babylon for 70 years. Isaiah predicted that afterward a Persian King named Cyrus would allow them to return and begin the reconstruction of the Temple. This prophecy was made 200 years before Cyrus was born, and at a time when Babylon ruled the known world. \n\nAll of this happened precisely as it had been predicted. The Temple was rebuilt on the same site of Solomon's Temple. \n\nThen, a little more than 400 years later, Jesus of Nazareth exploded on the scene and began to claim that He was the long awaited Messiah of which Israel's prophets had all spoken. He showed signs and wonders and pointed to the many prophecies that were fulfilled in His life, works and teaching. \n\nWhen it became evident that He was rejected by the rulers, he made this prediction about the Temple and Jerusalem: " … There will be great distress upon the land, and wrath to this people, and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled" (Luke 21:23-24). Jesus was crucified on the edge of Mount Moriah, the very spot Abraham had named, "Where the Lord will provide." \n\nThirty-seven years later, the Roman Tenth Legion under Titus destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple. The Israelites were scattered throughout the whole world for the next almost 2,000 years. But as predicted throughout by their prophe

My sister, all fall short of the golry of God, you, me and everyone else! King David new the Commandments yet still he let his fleshly desires send his friend to be killed so David could have his friends wife! And David was called by God "A man after God's own heart.". Jesus miracle on the cross has covered you from these things, and you are right to grieve and be sorry because God loves the penitent(or humble) person! You've done wrong yet so did all the Apostles at one time or another so take heart my sister, for God hasn't abandoned you! I will pray for you and hope that you will do the same for me, and God bless you and have faith!

From what I read in II Samuel 21:15-22, no name is given.  It does indicate that he is either the son of Goliath or a brother of Goliath.

Yes God did kill eveyone eexcept Noah and his family and the animals of course. The reason he did this is because eveyone was sining so greatly and the only one who not was Noah. God wanted to start over and give us all a second chance. Aren't you glad he did? Or you wouldn't be here now would you?

Of course he did! He wanted to demonstrate to Heston and the Israelites how big and strong and powerful he was, so he deliberately hardened Pharoah Yul's heart so that he could kill all the firstborn of Egypt--even babies and children who were innocent of wrongdoing.\n\nExo. 9:12  And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh Yul, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Charlton Heston.\n\nI paraphrased that, of course.  :o)

"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked.  Show no mercy; have no pity!  Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children.  But do not touch anyone with the mark.  Begin your task right here at the Temple."  So they began by killing the seventy leaders.  "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded.  "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill!  Go!"  So they went throughout the city and did as they were told."  (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)\n\n\n If even then you remain hostile toward me and refuse to obey, I will inflict you with seven more disasters for your sins.  I will release wild animals that will kill your children and destroy your cattle, so your numbers will dwindle and your roads will be deserted.  (Leviticus 26:21-22 NLT)\n\n\n(Moses) stood at the entrance to the camp and shouted, "All of you who are on the LORD's side, come over here and join me." And all the Levites came.  He told them, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Strap on your swords! Go back and forth from one end of the camp to the other, killing even your brothers, friends, and neighbors."  The Levites obeyed Moses, and about three thousand people died that day.  Then Moses told the Levites, "Today you have been ordained for the service of the LORD, for you obeyed him even though it meant killing your own sons and brothers. Because of this, he will now give you a great blessing."  (Exodus 32:26-29 NLT)\n\n\n "Go up, my warriors, against the land of Merathaim and against the people of Pekod. Yes, march against Babylon, the land of rebels, a land that I will judge!  Pursue, kill, and completely destroy them, as I have commanded you," says the LORD.  "Let the battle cry be heard in the land, a shout of great destruction".   (Jeremiah 50:21-22 NLT)\n\n\n As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace.  If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor.  But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town.  When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town.  But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder.  You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you.(Deuteronomy 20:10-14)\n\nand maaannnyyy more if u interesting, but i think i already made a very good point...

Not shocked not angry but a little confused. I wish I knew what church she went to. The bible is full of soldiers and warriors (and they weren't always the bad guys). David was a soldier when he killed Goliath. I just wonder who has warped her towards something like that.

Ha, what a pile of garbage. True the messiah was supposed to be a descendent of king David but that decent is patrilineal (from father to son) Mathew in the first part even shows how jesus was this though his father Josef. But wait. I thought that Jesus was the son of G-d so he cant be a descendant of king David. Strike one. They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." Isaiah 2:4. This is Isaiah’s prediction of what the messiah supposed to do. Basically world peace look around you. Strike two. The messiah was also supposed to restore the temple in Jerusalem and gather the Jews back to Israel. The temple still has not been built and more than ½ of Jews today don’t live in Israel. Strike three. Jesus is out of there.\nThe truth is Jesus did not fulfill ANY of the requirements to be the messiah. And NO WHERE dose it say any in the writings before Jesus thing about someone coming to cleanse sin or getting a second chance at it latter. (if you want the bible quotes to support the rest of my augment email me at Gratvol@yahoo.com)\n\n\n\noh and dcomputerman if all you needed to be was the son of a woman descendant of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and from the tribe of Judah line of King David I have just a good chance of being the Messiah as Jesus did.

When Moses led the Children of Israel out of Egypt to the promised land. They were commanded to kill all the homosexual idol worshiping inhabitants before them.  They were instructed to not show mercy or spare anyone. Or in the latter days they would come back to hurt them.\n\nSo Israel went to Canna did not kill the homosexual worshipers of Baal and as you can see it has turned to their hurt.\n\n\nGo big Re Go

Read Numbers 16.  God opened the ground and swallowed Korah, his followers and their families.  He also sent fire from the sky to kill the rest of the 250.  You would think the rest of the Israelites learned their lesson...but they complained and whined the very next day and God sent a plague of death sweeping across the camps until Aaron atoned for their sins.

That's nothing compared to the story of Bathsheba. He thought she was beautiful, so he wanted her for his wife. Alas, she was married to one of David's loyal soldiers, so David arranged for Uriah to be sent to the frontlines of a battle, where he was killed. Then he took Bathsheba as his own. She, of course, had no say in the matter. This sort of wonton cruelty was very typical of David, yet he is called a man of God and was always one of God's favorites--indeed, Jesus Christ is proudly proclaimed to be descended from this murderer! Throughout the O.T., God favors those who are crafty, cruel, and devious, and David fits the bill on every point.
