En un duelo entre campeones, aquel que desafía a su oponente sale de entre su escuadrón para dirigirse hacia el centro del combate. Es aquí donde encontramos la descripción de Goliat expuesto a nosotros en su expresión más vital.

Como mencioné en el podcast anterior, el relato de David y Goliat es una de las historias más célebres de la Biblia. La misma ha inspirado a muchos cristianos y no cristianos, estos incluyen: artistas, cineastas, jueces, políticos, entre otros. El relato bíblico, a diferencia de otros en la Biblia, presenta a David y Goliat como dos figuras opuestas, es decir, protagonista y antagonista.
