Goliath had four brothers according to several biblical passages, notably 2 Samuel 21:18-22 and Joshua 13:3, which refer to Goliath and his brothers as giants or "Lords of the Philistines" from Gath
. These four brothers, like Goliath, were giants and were eventually defeated by David and his men
. Some sources mention a fifth giant brother, an unnamed giant described in 2 Samuel 21:20 as having six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, making him a remarkable figure among the giants of that time
. This giant is often considered part of the same family or race as Goliath and his four brothers. In summary:
- Goliath had four named brothers mentioned explicitly in the Bible.
- There is also mention of a possible fifth giant brother, unnamed but described as extraordinary in stature and features.
Thus, Goliath had at least four brothers, with some traditions or interpretations extending this to five giant brothers in total
