The parents of Goliath are not mentioned in the Bible.
Goliath came from a tribe of tall people .
Likely, they were called Rephaim because of being descendants of a man named Raphah.
At 2 Samuel 21:16 ha•Ra•phah´ (literally, the Raphah) seems to employ the father's name to stand for the entire giant race.
Goliath was one of the Rephaim; he may have been a mercenary soldier with the Philistine army.
See 1Chronicles 20:5, 8
