Seven Champions of Christendom

The Hebrew phrase in 1Samuel 17:4,1 Samuel 17:23 is literally “the man of the space between”—that is the man (like Goliath) who fights a single opponent in the space between two armies. The Hebrew word translated “champion” in 1 Samuel 17:51 is a different word meaning “mighty one, warrior.”
