However, the account of David and Goliath is referenced in the New Testament, such as in Hebrews 11:32, where David's faith is commended.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Goliath is a proper noun used to refer to the Philistine giant from Gath, famously known for his battle with the young David. The name Goliath is often associated with great size and strength, as well as defiance against the God of Israel.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Goliath was a champion of the Philistines, a people who were often in conflict with the Israelites during the time of the Old Testament. The Philistines were known for their advanced weaponry and military prowess. Goliath's challenge to the Israelites, as recorded in 1 Samuel 17, was a common practice in ancient warfare, where representative combat was used to decide the outcome of a conflict without full-scale battle. Goliath's defeat by David, a young shepherd, is a pivotal moment in Israelite history, symbolizing God's power to deliver His people through unexpected means.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
