"fire'."" One major variant within the Samuel text is in 1 Samuel 17:4. While both the original Septuagint and Josephus’ writings attributed only four cubits and a span (about 6’9’’) to Goliath’s height, the Masoretic Text recorded Goliath’s height as six cubits (9’). The Septuagint writes, ""καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἀνὴρ δυνατὸς ἐκ τῆς παρατάξεως τῶν ἀλλοφύλων Γολιὰθ ὄνομα αὐτῶν ἐκ Γέθ, ὕψος αὐτοῦ τεσσάρων πήχεων καὶ σπιθαμῆς·"" The translation of this verse reads, ""And there went forth a mighty man out of the army of the Philistines, Goliath, by name, out of Geth, his height [was] four cubits and a span.""."

As this contradicts the better-known story in 1 Samuel 17 in which it is the famous David who kills Goliath, the 4th century BC Book of Chronicles explains the second Goliath by saying (20:5) that Elhanan ""slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath"", possibly constructing the name Lahmi from"
