David and Goliath

In paragraph 3, Goliath asks: “Am I not a Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul?” on the battlefield. How does this question help us understand the relationship between the Israelites and the Philistines?

  1. It shows a momentary tension between them.
  2. It shows that he believes their differences are only in name and can be resolved with a merging of their kingdoms.
  3. It shows that Goliath is uncertain about who is fighting.
  4. It shows that conflict between the two groups is considered inevitable.
