FIG. 18.7 ELAH VALLEY: DAVID AND GOLIATH BATTLEGROUND

KILLING GOLIATH

David, incensed at the insolence of the Philistine mocking Israel’s God, volunteered to fight Goliath himself. With only a sling and five stones in his possession, David slew the giant and won the duel for Israel. David’s reward was to marry Saul’s daughter, and his father’s family would also be exempted from paying taxes to the king (1 Sam 17:25). According to 1 Samuel 8:15–17, this would have allowed them to keep an extra tenth of the crops and flocks.
