<p> (גַּבּוֹר, gibbor', 1 Samuel 17:51; elsewhere "mighty man"). The Hebrews phrase אַישׁאּהִבֵּנִיַם, ish hab-bena´ yim, rendered "champion" in 1 Samuel 17:4; 1 Samuel 17:23, literally signifies a man between the two, that is, a go-between, an arbiter, or one who offers a challenge, and appropriately denotes the position of [[Goliath]] when he stood up between the [[Hebrew]] and [[Philistine]] armies. [[Single]] combats at the head of armies were not unusual in ancient times, and in many cases it was a condition that the result should determine the national quarrel. An example of this kind is the combat between [[Paris]] and Menelaus, described by Homer. A similar practice obtains in the present day among the [[Bedouin]] Arabs. (See [[Single Combat]]). </p> | |||
