The story of David and Goliath existed in antiquity in two variant literary editions, a short version found in the Greek tradition of Codex Vaticanus (LXXB) and a longer version found in the Hebrew tradition of the MT. Benjamin J. M. Johnson proposes that each version is worthy of study in its own right and offers a close literary reading of the narrative of David and Goliath in the Greek text of 1 Reigns 16-18. The author explores a method for reading the Septuagint that recognizes it is both a document in its own right and a translation of a Hebrew original. In offering a reading of the septuagintal version of the David and Goliath narrative, the literary difference between the two versions of the story and the literary significance of the Greek translation are highlighted.

The King, Sal is stressed and worried about losing the war because the General of the Philistine army is a giant named Goliath.

But David's belief in himself and in God was unstoppable. Finally after hearing of David's bravery protecting his father's sheep from loins and dangerous predators with this slingshot the King was convinced to let the Boy David fight the Giant Goliath to save his people.

In this examination of Zion theology and how it arises in the book of Psalms Antti Laato's starting-point is that the Hebrew Bible is the product of the exilic and postexilic times, which nonetheless contains older traditions that have played a significant role in the development of the text. Laato seeks out these older mythical traditions related to Zion using a comparative methodology and looking at Biblical traditions alongside Ugaritic texts and other ancient Near Eastern material. As such Laato provides a historical background for Zion theology which he can apply more broadly to the Psalms. In addition, Laato argues that Zion-related theology in the Psalms is closely related to two events recounted in the Hebrew Bible. First, the architectural details of the Temple of Solomon (1 Kings 6-7), which can be compared with older mythical Zion-related traditions. Second, the religious traditions related to the reigns of David and Solomon such as the Ark Narrative, which ends with David's transfer of the Ark to Jerusalem (2 Sam 6). From this Laato builds an argument for a possible setting in Jerusalem at the time of David and Solomon for the Zion theology that emerges in the Psalms.

There is no such thing as a prince charming or fairy godmother, but believe me, there are plenty of goliaths out there. Thats what her father said, when late one night a sleepy little girl fortuitously married the lead characters in the telling of her two favorite stories. The way she told it, Cinderella (of the classic fairy tale) and David (as in David and Goliath) lived together happily-everafter. As a teenager, she thought perhaps her father had been wrong. How else could it be possible for such an intriguing and handsome boy to fall in love with her, an average girl? This powerful memoir gives the reader an intimate view inside the hearts of grieving and hurting people. Ritas untainted candor and occasional use of humor turns a personal tragedy into an inspirational how-to, and sometimes a how-not-to, learning experience. Goliaths Mountain is a fictitious name, but the giants you meet in this book are painfully real. Her father was right, but Rita finds hope and a good liferight here on Goliaths Mountain.
