He was over nine feet tall." David killed Goliath, using 5 smooth stones from a nearby brook. 1 Samuel 17:40 "He took his stick in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook (Elah Stream)." The modern day site in Israel is known using different spellings: Tel Zafit, Tel Tzafit and Tell es-Safi. The Hebrew word 'Gath' means wine-press. Gath was one of the five cities that comprised the Philistine city-state system. In addition to Gath, the other towns of the Philistine city-state system were Ekron, Ashdod, Ashkelon, and Gaza (1 Samuel 6:17). The inhabitants of Gath were referred to as the Gittites (1 Samuel 17:4; 2 Samuel 6:10–11).
