First Time Killed By David
This was during the days of King Saul of Israel & Judah.(1 Samuel 17) A champion from the camp of the Philistines, named Golyat/Goliath, from Gat, was nine feet nine inches tall. KJV: And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him... CJB: David put his hand in his bag, took out a stone, and hurled it with his sling. It struck the P’lishti in his forehead and buried itself in his forehead, so that he fell face down on the ground. Thus David defeated the P’lishti with a sling and a stone, striking the P’lishti and killing him.
Second Time Killed By David
KJV: David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. CJB: Then David ran and stood over the P’lishti, took his sword, drew it out of its sheath, and finished killing him, cutting off his head with it. In 1 Samuel 21:10 and 1 Samuel 22:10, Goliath was confirmed dead.Third Time Killed, This Time By Elhanan
This was during the days of King David of Israel & Judah.(2 Samuel 21:19) KJV: And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. CJB Paraphrased for readability: There was more war with the Philistines. Elhanan, son of a Beit-Lachmi, killed Golyat/Goliath the Gitti, who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver’s beam. We notice how the KJV adds “the brother of” to significantly change the meaning of the verse. The third time Goliath is killed is repeated in (1 Chronicles 20:5) CJB: There was more war with the Philistines. Elhanan killed Lachmi the brother of Golyat/Goliath the Gitti, who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver’s beam. In the verse above, the CJB gets into the act of switcheroo by claiming that the second part of Beit-Lachmi is the name of the giant. Let's check.
In the CJB, we notice the use of “Beit-Lachmi,” in 1 Samuel 16:1 and 16:18 and 1 Samuel 17:18. Each time the KJV translates this, it is as “Bethlehemite.” Notice who Beit-Lachmi is referring to in those three verses. It is referring to Yishai/Jesse, the father of David. In other words, Lachmi/Lahmi is not the name of Goliath's brother. Even if it is, then what we should see in the KJV is Lachmi translated as Lehemite. Let's check. KJV: And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam. What else should we expect from the KJV which takes the CJB to an even greater suboptimal level of okie-doke misrepresentation. Bottom Line: There was never a human giant named Goliath that a human David killed or that any human in human David's army killed. David and Goliath are superhumans, spirit-souls, elementals and combinations of elements. Goliath, and giants by many names had been killed many times by many different types of Davids in the superhuman realm. This has continued to take place. The superhuman metaphor then manifests in the human world by using something relatively small to defeat something relatively large and seemingly undefeatable.
Right now, for instance, a human giant is the American-led United Nations and the citizens who support those countries. Simply put, those cultures are going to be brought down to their knees, and when the people finally recognize it, it will seem like it happened in one fell swoop.
Seriously. If this a story about human history, then if the Philistines had that many giants giving birth to giants, then all they had to do was bum-rush their enemies, especially bold and beautiful David. Instead , we are told one giant at a time came up against the Israelites and were killed one by one. How lingeringly convenient is belief and faith if that's all it takes for us to continue to accept these types of stories. Belief and faith prevents us from acknowledging our logically concluded mistakes. This prevents us from changing as the logical landscape is being reshaped by giants in the waters, now coming out of us to meet us face to face where there is no place to run or escape, only surrender or death, then death.
