Goliath (go-lî'ath), splendor. A giant of Gath, who for forty days defied the armies of Israel. 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 2 Samuel 21:19 we find that another Goliath of Gath was slain by Elhanan, also a Bethlehemite.
