Where did
David kill Goliath?
The Bible
gives numerous landmarks in (1 Samuel 17) to locate the battlefield.
It was
“between Socoh and Azekah” (v. 1).
The
armies were camped on mountains “with a valley between them” (3).
David
stopped at “the brook” to gather sling stones on his way to face Goliath (40).
These
details and others place the battle in front of Khirbet Qeiyafa.
What was
the name of the brook from which David took five stones? (1 Samuel 17:40)
The
famous battle in which David killed Goliath took place in the Valley of Elah (1
Samuel 17:4)
Elah
means terebinth, a tree commonly found in the area.
The brook
which runs through the valley is the Brook of Elah.
It is a
seasonal creek that runs dry for much of the year.
The brook
referred to in verse 40 runs along the valley at the foot of Khirbet Qeiyafa
and the surrounding hills.
The
brooks is dry during the summer months.
There are
still stones in the riverbed that have been smoothed by the brook’s water.
