six cubits . According to Bp. Cumberland's calculation , the height of Goliath was about eleven feet ten inches; but Parkhurst estimating the ordinary cubit at seventeen inches and a half , calculates that he was nine feet six inches high. Few instances can be produced of men who can be compared with him. Pliny says , "The tallest man that hath been seen in our days was one name Gabara , who , in the days of Claudius , the late Emperor , was brought out of Arabia . he was nine feet nine inches." Josephus mentions a Jew , named Eleazar , whom Vitellius sent to Rome , who was seven cubits , or ten feet two inches high. Becanus saw a man near ten feet , and a woman that was full ten feet. And , to mention no more , a man of the name of John Middleton , born at Hale , near Warrington , in Lancashire , in the reign of James the First , was more than nine feet high. Dr. Plott , in his history of Staffordshire , says , that "his hand , from the carpus to the end of the middle finger , was seventeen inches , his palms eight inches and a half broad , and his whole height was nine feet three inches; wanting but six inches of the height of Goliath of Gath.

the valley . Dr. Richardson says , that in about twenty minutes , in an easterly direction , form the cave of St. John . which is about two hours or six miles , in a westerly direction , from Jerusalem they came to the valley of Elah; which position seems to agree with that of Shochoh and Azekah. He describes it as "a small valley , and the place of the encampment is pointed out where it narrows into a broad , deep ravine; part of it was in crop , and part of it was under the plough , which was drawn by a couple of oxen. A small stream , which had shrunk almost under its stony bed , passes through it from east to west , from which we are informed that David chose out five smooth stones , and hasted and ran to meet the haughty champion of Gath. A well of water under the bank , with a few olive trees above , on the north side of the valley , are said to mark the spot of the shepherd's triumph over his boasting antagonist. Saul and his men probably occupied the side of the valley which is nearest to Jerusalem , on which the ground is higher and more rugged than on the other side." 1 Samuel 17 . 19

sent for him . Heb. took him , Proverbs 22 . 29 , The preceding twenty #### Verses , from the 1 Samuel 17 . 12 , to the 1 Samuel 17 . 31 , inclusive , the 1 Samuel 17 . 41 , and from the 1 Samuel 17 . 54 , to the end of this chapter , with the first 1 Samuel 18 . 1 , and the 1 Samuel 18 . 9 , 10th , 11th , 1 Samuel 18 . 17 , 18th , and 19th , of chapter 18 , are all wanting in the Vatican copy of the LXX; and they are supposed by Dr. Kennicott , and others , to be an interpolation. But , as Bp. Horsley observes , it appears , from many circumstances of the story , that David's combat with Goliath was many years prior to Saul's madness , and David's introduction to him as a musician. In the first place , David was quite a youth when he engaged with Goliath . 1 Samuel 17 . 33 , and 1 Samuel 17 . 42. When introduced to Saul he was of full age . 1 Samuel 16 . 18. Again , this combat was his first appearance in public life , and his first military exploit . 1 Samuel 17 . 36 , 1 Samuel 17 . 38 , 1 Samuel 17 . 39. When introduced as a musician , he was a man of established character , and a man of war . 1 Samuel 16 . 18. Now the just conclusion is , that the last ten #### Verses of 1 Samuel 16 . 14 , have been misplaced; their true place being between the ninth and tenth #### Verses of Joshua 18 . 9. Let them be removed there , and the whole apparent disorder will be removed.

I will give . Parallel instances of vaunting occur in some writers of a more recent date. . The conspirators against the emperor Maximinus having slain him , his son , and several of his best friends , threw out their bodies to be devoured by dogs and the fowls of the air. This custom appears to have been frequently threatened; and , however shocking to human feelings , was often carried into effect.

So David prevailed . The tradition of the combat between David and Goliath , in which the latter was killed , is preserved among the Arabs; for he is mentioned in the Koran , where he is called Galut or Jalut. The Arabs also call the dynasty of the Philistine kings , who reigned in Palestine when the Hebrews came there , Galutiah , or Jalutiah. Achmed Al Fassi says , "Those kings were as well known by the name of Jalaut , as the ancient kings of Egypt by that of Pharaoh. David killed the Jalaut who reigned in his time , and entirely rooted out the Philistines , the rest of whom fled into Africa , and from them descended the Brebers or Berbers , who inhabit the coast of Barbary." It is remarkable that the Berbers themselves should acknowledge their descent from the Philistines. "The name Goliath , which they pronounce Sghialud , is very common among the Brebers , and the history of the champion of the Philistines is very well known to the Moors. When children quarrel , and the bigger one challenges the smaller to fight the latter answers , Who will fight with you? Enta men ulid Sgialud. You are of the race of Golaith.' The Jews who dwell among them , on the mountains , all call them Philistines." 1 Samuel 21 . 9 , 1 Samuel 23 . 21 , Judges 3 . 31 , Judges 15 . 15
