Did you notice the OT Israelities were afraid of Goliath and fled, when they saw him?
1 Samuel 17:23-24 KJB
[23] And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words [see 1 Samuel 17:8-10 to see Goliath's words]: and David heard them. [24] And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
The King James Bible, in 1 Samuel 17:4 clearly shows that Goliath's height was six cubits and a span, but the Septuagint actually and wrongly degrades Goliath's height down to four cubits and a span.
Thus, the big question is:
When the Old Testament Israelities saw Goliath, would they be more, sore afraid of Goliath if he was a physical height of six cubits and a span tall (1 Samuel 17:4 KJB) or if he was a lowered height of four cubits and a span tall (1 Samuel 17:4 Septuagint)?
The clear answer is that the Old Testament Israelities would be much more afraid of Goliath if he was six cubits and a span, instead of four cubits and a span tall.
Conclusion: The Septugaint is wrong again on Goliath's height. The King James Bible (KJB) is right and completely correct again. Discard the Septuagint and get the KJB.
