What time did David and Goliath live?
In the eleventh century
Does the Bible say that David buried Goliath's head at Golgotha?
There is no record of this in the Bible. David also would not have known this place at that time. It referred to the name it had acquired in Jesus' time, presumably as a place of execution. The Bible does state in 1 Samuel17:54 "And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem;" So As we can see David used it as a trophy.
When did David kill Goliath?
King David has been well established in history trough archaeological finds. He slayed Goliath about 10 years before becoming king. The date would probably be around 500 years before Jesus. David first became king of Judah in 1010 BCE, when he was 30. This would mean that David slayed Goliath around 1023-1018 BCE, when he was somewhere around 17 to 22 years old.
What was Israel's currency at the time of David and Goliath?
Before 600 BC, there was no coin system and a system of weight "shekel" was being used. Weight being commodities such as Gold, silver, wheat, etc.
Why did king david kill giant Goliath?
It's worth noting that David wasn't king when he killed Goliath. This is detailed in full in 1 Samuel chapter 17, but basically, the Israelites were constantly at war with the Philistines, and at one point, they camped their armies across from each other. The 9-foot champion of the Philistines was Goliath, and he challenged Israel to send out one man to fight him. All of the soldiers were too cowardly to accept this challenge. David was still living at home in Bethlehem at the time, but his three oldest brothers were fighting in the war. So David was sent back and forth between tending to the flocks of sheep at home and going to Saul's army. One day while he was bringing his brothers supplies from home, he arrived as Goliath was shouting his daily challenge that no one had yet accepted. He was outraged that none of the soldiers would fight Goliath, so he volunteered. And the rest, as they say, is history. He went out with five smooth stones and a sling because he was not comfortable in Saul's armor.
