Brian Godawa Quote
Achish of Gath did not have one champion to face this cowardly messiah king, wherever he was hiding. He had six. Six times the odds in his favor. I will take your advice, said Achish. I will prepare for battle. Where do you think would be the optimum location for your victory? Somewhere to aid our invasion of Israelite territories. Goliath said, The Valley of the Terebinth, fifteen miles southwest of Bethlehem. The Valley of the Terebinth, known to others as the Valley of Elah, marked a natural entry point for conquering from the Philistine homeland into the hill country of the Saulide kingdom. It would be the perfect spot to thrust a Philistine scimitar of war.
