The story of David slaying Goliath is a Sunday school favourite. 1 Samuel describes the event, concluding:

So David prevailed over the Philisine [Goliath] with a sling and a stone, striking down the Philistine and killing him… [1 Samuel 17:50a]

According to 2 Samuel, however, it wasn’t David that killed Goliath but Elhanan:

Then there was another battle with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan son of Jaareoregim, the Bethlehemite, killed Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. [2 Samuel 21:19]

According to Matthew, the Field of Blood was so called because it was bought with blood money:

When Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. He said, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? See to it yourself.” Throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed; and he went and hanged himself. But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, “It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since they are blood money.” After conferring together, they used them to buy the potter’s field as a place to bury foreigners. For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. [Matthew 27:3-8]

According to Acts, the Field of Blood was so called because of Judas’s bloody death there:

Now this man [Judas] acquired a field with the reward of his wickedness; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out. This became known to all the residents of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their language Hakeldama, that is, Field of Blood. [Acts 1:18-19]

According to Matthew, Judas hanged himself:

When Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. He said, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? See to it yourself.” Throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed; and he went and hanged himself. [Matthew 27:3-5]

According to Acts, Judas fell and burst open, spilling his guts:

Now this man [Judas] acquired a field with the reward of his wickedness; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out. [Acts 1:18]
