Who really killed the Giant Goliath?

[Peace]

There are two stories in the bible of a giant Goliath being killed. 1 Sam. 17 says David did it, 2 Sam 21:19 said that ELHANAN slew the giant Goliath. Which is true?

According to the Quran, it is David who killed Goliath.


When they advanced to meet Goliath and his forces, they prayed: "Our Lord! Pour out constancy on us and make our steps firm: Help us against those that reject faith." By Allah's will they routed them; and David slew Goliath; and Allah gave him power and wisdom and taught him whatever (else) He willed. And did not Allah Check one set of people by means of another, the earth would indeed be full of mischief: But Allah is full of bounty to all the worlds. (Quran: 2: 250-251)

David. Slings are very effective weapons, surprisingly enough.

Where are the bones of Goliath or any other giants?

Here and there, they're not massive. Just really tall 7 - 8 feet.

That just goes to show you how Quran is paraphrasing the David myth in the Hebrew bible. :yes:
