Goliath was an ancient Human warrior, famous for his battle with the young David, the future king of Israel, described in the mythology of three major Earth religions. In mythology, he was slain by a slingshot.

In 2268, James T. Kirk and party referenced this conflict as they created slingshots. (TOS episode: "Spectre of the Gun", TOS novelization: The Last Gunfight)

In 2269, Montgomery Scott compared his efforts to shut down the thought-shield on Organia to David against Goliath. (TOS novel: Spock Must Die!)
