Answers to Whataya Know About Angels? Biblical Beginners: C- David chose 5 stones from the wadi (dry river bed) to use in his slingshot against Goliath. Scriptural Scholars: C - Goliath was a Philistine who was extremely large. According to the Bible, in 1 Samuel, chapter 17 Goliath was 6 cubits and a span which equates to about 11 feet, however, some ancient texts only put it at 4 cubits and a span which is only a little under 8 feet. Either way, the guy was tall! Wizards of the WORD: D - David had been sent by his father to check on his brothers and bring them food. While he was there he was appalled that this Philistine would defy the armies of God and none of the Israelites would answer his challenge. So David went to King Saul and told him he would fight Goliath and that the Lord would save him him from the hand of the Philistine. And he was right!
