Summary edit

Description

Elah Valley is the place described in the Bible where the Israelites were encamped when David fought Goliath.

The Philistine army had gathered for war against Israel. The two armies faced each other for battle on opposite sides of the valley. A Philistine giant (Goliath) measuring over 2.7 meters (9ft) tall and wearing full armour came out each day for forty days, mocking and challenging the Israelites to fight. Saul, the King of Israel, and the army were terrified of Goliath.

David volunteered to fight Goliath. It took some persuasion, but King Saul finally agreed to let David fight against the giant.

As Goliath moved in for the kill, David reached into his bag and slung one of his stones at Goliath's head. The stone hit the giant's forehead, and he fell face down on the ground. David took Goliath's sword, killed him and then cut off his head. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran. The Israelites pursued, chasing and killing them.
