Cumberland's calculation, the height of Goliath was about eleven feet ten inches; but Parkhurst estimating the ordinary cubit at seventeen inches and a half, calculates that he was nine feet six inches high. Few instances can be produced of men who can be compared with him. Pliny says, "The tallest man that hath been seen in our days was one name Gabara, who, in the days of Claudius, the late Emperor, was brought out of Arabia: he was nine feet nine inches." Josephus mentions a Jew, named Eleazar, whom Vitellius sent to Rome, who was seven cubits, or ten feet two inches high. Becanus saw a man near ten feet, and a woman that was full ten feet. And, to mention no more, a man of the name of John Middleton, born at Hale, near Warrington, in Lancashire, in the reign of James the First, was more than nine feet high. Dr. Plott, in his history of Staffordshire, says, that "his hand, from the carpus to the end of the middle finger, was seventeen inches, his palms eight inches and a half broad, and his whole height was nine feet three inches; wanting but six inches of the height of Goliath of Gath.Reciprocal Genesis 6:4 - giants; Numbers 13:33 - saw the giants; 1 Samuel 5:8 - Gath; 9:2 - from his shoulders; 10:23 - he was higher; Job 39:21 - and; Psalm 33:16 - mighty; Jeremiah 9:23 - neither; Amos 6:2 - Gath Verse 5 armedHeb. clothed, 1 Samuel 17:38 Reciprocal 2 Samuel 21:16 - of the sons; Ephesians 6:17 - the helmet Verse 6 target of brassor, gorget, 1 Kings 10:16; 2 Chronicles 9:15 Reciprocal Joshua 8:18 - the spear Verse 7 the staff 2 Samuel 21:19; 1 Chronicles 11:23, 20:5

they came to the valley of Elah; which position seems to agree with that of Shochoh and Azekah. He describes it as "a small valley, and the place of the encampment is pointed out where it narrows into a broad, deep ravine; part of it was in crop, and part of it was under the plough, which was drawn by a couple of oxen. A small stream, which had shrunk almost under its stony bed, passes through it from east to west, from which we are informed that David chose out five smooth stones, and hasted and ran to meet the haughty champion of Gath. A well of water under the bank, with a few olive trees above, on the north side of the valley, are said to mark the spot of the shepherd's triumph over his boasting antagonist. Saul and his men probably occupied the side of the valley which is nearest to Jerusalem, on which the ground is higher and more rugged than on the other side." 1 Samuel 17:19 Reciprocal 17:2 - the valley Verse 20 left the sheep 1 Samuel 17:28; Ephesians 6:1, 6:2 trenchor, place of the carriage, 1 Samuel 26:5; Luke 19:43 fightor, battle array, or place of fightReciprocal Exodus 32:17 - There is a noise; Joshua 6:5 - the people; Jeremiah 50:14 - in array; Ezekiel 21:22 - to lift Verse 21 Reciprocal Ruth 1:2 - Ephrathites; 1 Samuel 4:2 - put Verse 22 his carriageHeb. the vessels from upon himsaluted his brethrenHeb. asked his brethren of peace, Genesis 37:14; Judges 18:15; Matthew 10:12, 10:13; Luke 10:5, 10:6 Reciprocal Genesis 29:6 - Is he well; 43:27 - welfare; 1 Samuel 16:6 - Eliab; 25:5 - greet him; 2 Samuel 11:7 - how Joab did; 2 Kings 9:17 - Is it peace; Jeremiah 15:5 - how thou doest Verse 23 according 1 Samuel 17:4-10 Reciprocal Amos 6:2 - Gath Verse 24 himHeb. his face, 1 Samuel 13:6, 13:7 sore 17:11; Leviticus 26:36; Numbers 13:33; Deuteronomy 32:30; Isaiah 7:2, 30:17 Reciprocal Revelation 13:4 - who is able Verse 25 the king 1 Samuel 18:17-27; Joshua 15:16; Revelation 2:7, 2:17, 3:5, 3:12, 3:21 free in Israel Ezra 7:24; Matthew 17:26 Reciprocal Numbers 23:7 - defy Israel; Judges 1:12 - And Caleb; 10:18 - he shall be; 1 Samuel 17:10 - I defy; 17:27 - So shall it; 22:14 - the king's; 2 Samuel 5:8 - Whosoever; 21:21 - defied; 1 Chronicles 11:6 - Whosoever; Esther 6:3 - What honour; Daniel 2:48 - a great; 5:7 - be clothed; Matthew 17:25 - of their Verse 26 reproach 1 Samuel 11:2; Joshua 7:8, 7:9; 2 Kings 19:4; Nehemiah 5:9; Psalm 44:13, 74:18, 79:12; Daniel 9:16; Joel 2:19 uncircumcised 1 Samuel 17:36, 14:6 defy 17:10; Deuteronomy 5:26; Jeremiah 10:10; 1 Thessalonians 1:9; 1 John 5:20 Reciprocal Genesis 34:14 - uncircumcised; Numbers 23:7 - defy Israel; Joshua 3:10 - living; 5:9 - I rolled away; Judges 14:3 - uncircumcised; 15:18 - the uncircumcised; 1 Samuel 17:8 - servants to Saul; 17:30 - manner; 17:45 - defied; 18:25 - foreskins; 31:4 - uncircumcised; 2 Samuel 1:20 - uncircumcised; 21:21 - defied; 23:9 - defied; 1 Chronicles 10:4 - uncircumcised; 11:5 - Thou shalt; 20:7 - defied; 2 Chronicles 32:18 - to affright; Nehemiah 4:4 - turn; Esther 6:3 - What honour; Psalm 108:11 - go forth; Isaiah 33:8 - he regardeth; 37:4 - to reproach; Jeremiah 23:36 - of the; Ezekiel 28:10 - the deaths; 31:18 - thou shalt; 32:19 - with; Daniel 6:26 - for; Acts 14:15 - the living; 2 Corinthians 3:3 - the living; Ephesians 2:11 - Uncircumcision; 1 Timothy 3:15 - the living; Habakkuk 3:1 - the living; Revelation 7:2 - living Verse 27 So shall it 1 Samuel 17:25 Reciprocal 17:30 - manner; Matthew 5:22 - That Verse 28 Eliab's anger 1 Samuel 16:13; Genesis 37:4, 37:8, 37:11; Proverbs 18:19, 27:4; Ecclesiastes 4:4; Matthew 10:36, 27:18; Mark 3:21 with 1 Samuel 17:20 I know 16:7; Psalm 35:11; Jude 1:10 Reciprocal 1 Samuel 16:11 - There remaineth; 17:13 - the names; 20:29 - my brother; 1 Chronicles 2:13 - his firstborn; 2 Chronicles 11:18 - Eliab; Job 32:6 - durst not; Psalm 69:8 - and an alien; 131:1 - my heart; Proverbs 6:12 - naughty; 27:23 - diligent; Matthew 5:22 - That; 26:8 - they; Luke 15:28 - he; John 7:3 - Depart; 12:4 - one Verse 29 Proverbs 15:1; Acts 11:2-4; 1 Corinthians 2:15; 1 Peter 3:9 Reciprocal Genesis 31:26 - What; 1 Samuel 26:18 - what have I; 29:8 - But what have; 1 Chronicles 27:18 - Elihu; Esther 4:14 - for such a time; Psalm 131:1 - my heart; Matthew 26:8 - they; John 12:4 - one Verse 30 mannerHeb. word, 1 Samuel 17:26, 17:27

The preceding twenty verses, from the 1 Samuel 17:12 to the 17:31 inclusive, the 17:41, and from the 17:54 to the end of this chapter, with the first 18:1 and the 18:9, 10th, 11th, 18:17, 18th, and 19th, of chapter 18, are all wanting in the Vatican copy of the LXX; and they are supposed by Dr. Kennicott, and others, to be an interpolation. But, as Bp. Horsley observes, it appears, from many circumstances of the story, that David's combat with Goliath was many years prior to Saul's madness, and David's introduction to him as a musician. In the first place, David was quite a youth when he engaged with Goliath - 17:33 and 17:42. When introduced to Saul he was of full age - 16:18. Again, this combat was his first appearance in public life, and his first military exploit - 17:36, 17:38, 17:39. When introduced as a musician, he was a man of established character, and a man of war - 16:18. Now the just conclusion is, that the last ten verses of 16:14 have been misplaced; their true place being between the ninth and tenth verses of Joshua 18:9. Let them be removed there, and the whole apparent disorder will be removed.Reciprocal 1 Samuel 17:58 - Whose son Verse 32 Let Numbers 13:30, 14:9; Deuteronomy 20:1-3; Isaiah 35:4; Habakkuk 3:1 thy 1 Samuel 14:6, 16:18; Joshua 14:12; Psalm 3:6, 27:1-3 Reciprocal 2 Samuel 10:12 - Be of good; 1 Chronicles 19:13 - of good; Isaiah 7:4 - neither be fainthearted Verse 33 Thou art not Numbers 13:31; Deuteronomy 9:2; Psalm 11:1; Revelation 13:4 for thou art but 1 Samuel 17:42, 17:56 Reciprocal 16:19 - with the sheep; 17:31 - sent for him; Psalm 71:5 - my trust; Daniel 2:26 - Art; Habakkuk 3:1 - stopped Verse 34 lambor, kidReciprocal Genesis 31:39 - torn of; Judges 14:6 - rent him; 1 Samuel 16:19 - with the sheep; 2 Samuel 17:8 - mighty men; 23:20 - slew a lion; 1 Chronicles 11:22 - slew a; Psalm 143:5 - remember; Ezekiel 34:12 - As a shepherd seeketh out; Amos 3:12 - As the; Zechariah 9:7 - I will; 11:16 - neither; Luke 2:8 - abiding; John 10:11 - giveth; Romans 5:4 - and experience; Revelation 13:2 - and his feet Verse 35 smote him Judges 14:5, 14:6; 2 Samuel 23:20; Psalm 91:13; Daniel 6:22; Amos 3:12; Acts 28:4-6; 2 Timothy 4:17, 4:18 Reciprocal Genesis 31:39 - torn of; Judges 15:14 - the cords; 2 Chronicles 14:11 - rest on thee; Job 29:17 - and plucked; Ezekiel 34:12 - As a shepherd seeketh out; Zechariah 11:16 - neither; Luke 2:8 - abiding; John 10:11 - giveth Verse 36 this 1 Samuel 17:26; Ezekiel 32:19, 32:27-32; Romans 2:28, 2:29 seeing 1 Samuel 17:10; Isaiah 10:15, 36:8-10, 36:15, 36:18, 37:22, 37:23, 37:28, 37:29; Zechariah 2:8, 12:3; Acts 5:38, 5:39, 9:4, 9:5, 12:1, 12:2, 12:22, 12:23 Reciprocal Genesis 34:14 - uncircumcised; Numbers 23:7 - defy Israel; Deuteronomy 3:21 - so shall; Joshua 5:9 - I rolled away; Judges 14:3 - uncircumcised; 15:18 - the uncircumcised; 1 Samuel 14:6 - uncircumcised; 17:31 - sent for him; 17:45 - defied; 18:25 - foreskins; 31:4 - uncircumcised; 2 Samuel 1:20 - uncircumcised; 21:21 - defied; 23:9 - defied; 1 Chronicles 10:4 - uncircumcised; 11:5 - Thou shalt; 20:7 - defied; 2 Chronicles 14:11 - rest on thee; 32:19 - spake; Psalm 71:17 - hitherto; 108:11 - go forth; 140:7 - thou hast covered; Ecclesiastes 12:1 - Remember; Isaiah 37:4 - to reproach; Jeremiah 10:10 - the living; 23:36 - of the; Ezekiel 28:10 - the deaths; 31:18 - thou shalt; Daniel 6:26 - for; Acts 14:15 - the living; Ephesians 2:11 - Uncircumcision; 1 Thessalonians 1:9 - the living; 1 Timothy 3:15 - the living; Revelation 7:2 - living Verse 37 The Lord 1 Samuel 7:12; Psalm 11:1, 18:16, 18:17, 63:7, 77:11, 138:3, 138:7, 138:8; 2 Corinthians 1:9, 1:10; 2 Timothy 4:17, 4:18 Go 1 Samuel 20:13, 24:19, 26:25; 2 Samuel 10:12; 1 Chronicles 22:11, 22:16 Reciprocal Deuteronomy 3:21 - so shall; Joshua 10:25 - Fear not; Psalm 4:1 - thou; 59:16 - for thou; 71:17 - hitherto; 91:13 - tread; 140:7 - thou hast covered; Ecclesiastes 12:1 - Remember; Daniel 2:18 - they would; 3:17 - our God; 6:22 - hath shut; 2 Thessalonians 3:16 - The Lord be Verse 38 armed David with his armourHeb. clothed David with his clothes, 1 Samuel 17:5 Reciprocal 17:31 - sent for him Verse 39 put them off Hosea 1:7; Zechariah 4:6; 2 Corinthians 10:4, 10:5 Reciprocal 1 Samuel 17:31 - sent for him; 17:50 - but there was; Ephesians 5:10 - Proving Verse 40 staff Judges 3:31, 7:16-20, 15:15, 15:16, 20:16; 1 Corinthians 1:27-29 brookor, valleybagHeb. vessel, Matthew 10:10 Reciprocal Isaiah 36:8 - and I; Zechariah 11:7 - staves; 1 Corinthians 1:25 - the foolishness Verse 41 Reciprocal Joshua 8:18 - the spear; 1 Samuel 17:31 - sent for him Verse 42 disdained 1 Kings 20:18; 2 Kings 18:23, 18:24; Nehemiah 4:2-4; Psalm 123:3, 123:4; 2 Corinthians 11:27-29 a youth 1 Samuel 17:33, 16:12 Reciprocal Genesis 39:6 - a goodly person; Numbers 13:33 - and we were; 1 Samuel 17:31 - sent for him; Job 39:21 - and; Jeremiah 9:23 - neither Verse 43 Am 1 Samuel 24:14; 2 Samuel 3:8, 9:8, 16:9; 2 Kings 8:13 cursed Genesis 27:29; Numbers 22:6, 22:11, 22:12; Judges 9:27; Proverbs 26:2 Reciprocal Judges 4:21 - took; 1 Samuel 14:12 - Come up to us; 2 Samuel 16:5 - cursed; Nehemiah 4:2 - feeble; Psalm 12:3 - tongue; Zechariah 11:7 - staves Verse 44 Come to me 1 Kings 20:10, 20:11; Proverbs 18:12; Ecclesiastes 9:11, 9:12; Jeremiah 9:23; Ezekiel 28:2, 28:9, 28:10; 39:17-20 I will giveParallel instances of vaunting occur in some writers of a more recent date. - The conspirators against the emperor Maximinus having slain him, his son, and several of his best friends, threw out their bodies to be devoured by dogs and the fowls of the air.

The Arabs also call the dynasty of the Philistine kings, who reigned in Palestine when the Hebrews came there, Galutiah, or Jalutiah. Achmed Al Fassi says, "Those kings were as well known by the name of Jalaut, as the ancient kings of Egypt by that of Pharaoh. David killed the Jalaut who reigned in his time, and entirely rooted out the Philistines, the rest of whom fled into Africa, and from them descended the Brebers or Berbers, who inhabit the coast of Barbary." It is remarkable that the Berbers themselves should acknowledge their descent from the Philistines. "The name Goliath, which they pronounce Sghialud, is very common among the Brebers, and the history of the champion of the Philistines is very well known to the Moors. When children quarrel, and the bigger one challenges the smaller to fight the latter answers, Who will fight with you? Enta men ulid Sgialud. You are of the race of Golaith.'
