Is the Goliath one because it wasn't David, or because it wasn't a slingshot?

Love this series.

I honestly believe that question is wrong, er-right.

David “slings” a rock at Goliath and Goliath dies. So, yes, it is in fact factual to say that according to the Bible, David kills Goliath with a slingshot.

“David put his hand into the bag and took out a stone, hurled it with the sling, and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone embedded itself in his brow, and he fell on his face to the ground.

Thus David triumphed over the Philistine with sling and stone; he struck the Philistine dead, and did it without a sword in his hand.”

You stopped one verse too early. It continues: "Then David ran and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and finished him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled."

It seems that Goliath was killed by a sword, not the sling(shot). You don't have to finish off someone who's already dead. Also, there would be no urgency to run over to a dead guy to take his sword. If the guy's dead, mosey over casually and get to the beheading when you feel like it.

You could describe that as David killing Goliath with a sling *and* a sword. hence with a sling.

Nnooooo. He killed him with his own sword. The sling knocked Goliath down?

I'm not sure.

@cathlete, to add to your Bible verse, verse 51a says:

"Then David ran and stood over the Philistine and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him and cut off his head with it. "

It mentions killing Goliath twice?

cathlete

Jan 22, 2026
Interesting point. I tried to parse through the original Hebrew of both, and I'm not Hebrew (nor Biblical) scholar, but both verses appear to use the same word "kill".

Either way, it would still be correct to say that "according to the Bible, David kills Goliath with a sling(shot)". Even if the proceeding verse seems to possibly contradict this statement.

In 1 Sam 17,50-51 it is not perfectly clear, whether Goliath was already killed by the slingshot or if David killed Goliath with Goliaths sword when he lay face to the ground, maybe only unconcious.

Well, it kind of is perfectly clear. I provided the quote above. If you want the NKJV, it says, "So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David."

There's also the fact that 2 Samuel 21:19 credits Elhanan with the killing of Goliath - which most biblical scholars would posit is the earlier story that 1 Samuel 17 reworks to give David the glory.

No one does - the origins have been lost to antiquity. Quoth Wikipedia:

“There is debate whether the Pythagorean theorem was discovered once, or many times in many places, and the date of first discovery is uncertain, as is the date of the first proof.”

The Wiki page goes on to discuss the history of different approaches to proving the theorem, some of which to back to thousands of years before Pythagoras.

In any event, there are no contemporary sources indicating that Pythagoras himself ever even devised or wrote out any proof of the theorem, with the earliest such attribution coming about 500 years after his death.

Short version: as is often the case with mathematical principles named after people, the theorem is now commonly named after him, but he didn't really have anything to do with coming up with any proofs for it.
