Actually David was quite clever, he invited Goliath for a peace meal and gave him some latkes to eat which were so heavy the big man knelled over and smashed his head on the stone floor.

This tradition was passed down from Bubbie to my mother as well as the recipe; remember, you don't start up with Jewish bubbies....
2. Ignorance is Bliss
(12.14.19)
Even though this is well written, siting 2 Samuel 21 as your reason of doubt is off base and misguided. "Controversy" like this does get the attention of many and does have the ability to start theological debates. Not finding pig bones at an archaeological site does not mean that someone wasn't there. We've been at war in the Middle East for almost 20 years and there are many places you won't find American remnants. This is a great read for explaining to kids the difference between "knowledge" and "wisdom." I bet Barrack Obama wasn't a real president because others have gotten credit for his work (i.e. Saul who was KING.)
