Do we know for certain it wasn't Daniella vs Goliath, not David?

What if the powers that been in ancient times witnessed not David, but Daniella, deftly slinging a slingstone at Goliath and taking him out?

Could ancient scholars have edited a few naughty bits out of Scripture to ensure that a man, not a woman, was the epic hero in that famous anecdote?

    There were other women in the Bible that were epic heroines. David wasn't one of them.

    I guess if any part of the babble was real then yes that is definitely a possibility.Although the bible has always been sexist and chauvinistic towards women I mean just look at the verse that says women should be silent if thats not misogynistic chauvinistic and sexist then I don't know what is .

    Wake up & smell the coffee, dude. David's affair with Bathsheba leave no room for doubt that David was DAVID, a male, when Solomon was conceived, darling. Don't you get tired of being wrong all the time?

    And the Bible is not sexist. Imperfect humans entertained many erroneous ideas and practices back then just like they do today that God tolerated for centuries. Women were given unprecedented honor and respect in the Scriptures on many occasions. --- whatever - I don't even understand your question. NEXT...

    Congratulations! A JW just answered your question.

    Have you read the Bible?

    It starts right off with two totally different creation stories that contradict each other and then goes all over the place from there.

    It's obvious it hasn't been edited. We got a rough draft.

    Sure, they could have taken all of the women out of the Bible, including the stories of Esther and Ruth. Yeah, whatever.
