<p> '''Goliath''' (''go-lî'ath'' ), ''splendor.'' [[A]] giant of Gath, who for forty days defied the armies of Israel. &nbsp;1 Samuel 17:1-58. His height was "six cubits and a span," which, taking- the cubit at 18 inches, would make him 9½ feet high. In &nbsp;2 Samuel 21:19 we find that another Goliath of Gath was slain by Elhanan, also a Bethlehemite. </p>
