IT'S NOT COMPLICATEDIn this episode of It’s Not Complicated, we break down the tension between 2 Samuel 21:15–22 and 1 Chronicles 20:5 and the question of who killed Goliath. At first glance, the passages seem to conflict, but a closer look reveals important context and
manuscript details. We explore how the accounts of Goliath and David fit into the broader story of Israel’s battles with the Philistines. Two sides to one story, because when you dig deeper, it’s not complicated. We want to hear from you! Send us a note to share your thoughts!
