5. Moreover, nowhere in the Bible is Lahmi called a polydactylic! In addition, Wolfers glosses over the conflicting reports as to who killed Goliath (Elhanan in2Sam21:19, but David in 1 Chron 20:5) by labeling the 1 Chronicles account the “authentic version” (p. 141, n. 1). Given the Chronicler′s frequent whitewashing of David′s career (e.g., he does not mention the affair with Bathsheba), one would expect Wolfers to argue the opposite view.
