Information

Goliath

Goliath is a character in the Hebrew Bible, most famously known from the Books of Samuel, where he is described as a Philistine giant defeated by the young David. The name Goliath is Hebrew: גָּלְיָת, romanized: Golyat, which is thought to mean "exile" or "banishment." In Arabic, he is known as جالوت (Jālūt), and in Greek, he is referred to as Γολιάθ (Goliáth). The story of David and Goliath has become a classic symbol of the triumph of the underdog against overwhelming odds. Goliath is often depicted as a formidable warrior, standing at a height of about six cubits and a span, which is approximately 2.9 meters (9 feet 6 inches) tall. His defeat by David, who was then a shepherd boy, is seen as a testament to divine intervention and the power of faith. The narrative has been widely interpreted and retold in various cultural and religious contexts, often emphasizing themes of courage, divine favor, and the unexpected victory of the seemingly weaker party.
