Posthuman, the sword of Goliath was kept behind the ephod so that when the time came it could be used to deal with the enemies of God. Not only by David.
Looks like the sword of Goliath has been used here, as I see an unwarranted outcry from these Philistines (or Moabites? who are more fleshly) who’ve covered themselves not with spiritual armour but with the poisonous spider’s web of lies.

Goliath's description strongly suggests he is a charioteer -- probably having a spear and two swords, both a curved sickle-type and a straight sword. if he is roughly twice the size of an ordinary man, it stands to reason his armament is also roughly twice the size of a normal man's.
1 Samuel 17 tells us David brought Goliath's head to Jerusalem ((burying it at gol-goliatha, the place of "the" skull, where Christ put His cross, symbolically crushing the head of the seed of the serpent)), and that David took Goliath's kit and put it "in his own tent"
which sword did he ((who else but him?)) bring to Nob, why not both, what happened to the spear, shield and armor?
if David consecrates these things ((why would weapons of Belial be kept in the house of God?)) wouldn't he consecrate all of them?
why does he say of the sword ((in 1 Samuel 20)) 'there is none like it' -- owing to its size? or to some other characteristic?
with it he first defended Keilah from Philistine raiders ((1 Samuel 23)), then cut a corner of Saul's robe ((1 Samuel 24)) then dwells with the ((Gentile)) Philistine king Achish of Gath, fighting the enemies of the Philistines, making himself the servant of the ((Gentiles)) Philistines until they will no longer have him. here David uses this Gathite sword to fight alongside the people of Gath against the enemies of Gath ((Gentiles)).
Christ does the same thing; David is a type of Christ.
so what is this sword, why is there none like it, why does he put it behind the ephod wrapped in cloth, retrieve it, unwrapping it - first defend Israel, who would betray him, therefore put Israel to shame with it, go to the Gentiles to the very place from which the sword first came, and make himself the servant and defender of the very ones from which this sword was taken?
how does this speak of Christ?
who does Christ slay, that blasphemes His people?
what weapon does Christ take from him, wrap in cloth and secret behind the garment of the priest in the sanctuary?
when does Christ take up this weapon & defend His people even while they would betray Him?
when does Christ use this weapon to expose the shame of those who would betray Him?
when does Christ take this weapon to dwell among the Gentiles as their Servant & Champion?
what is this weapon, that 'there is none like it' ?
if it is the shorter straight sword with horn-shaped handguard - short for Goliath but twice the size of one fitted for David - is David essentially wielding a bronze-age equivalent of a medieval longsword/hand-and-a-half sword?
does it look anything like a cross?

Well let's see, so far you're the only one that has called people names, stirred up strife and judged people you don't know personally. You must be a real treat in person.
Yeah I'm hoping CC makes it a permanent break. I see that in your near future. No one has called you names and here you are attacking fellow Christians yet again. I so hope you don't try to share the Gospel, you self righteous attitude stinks. Having a tattoo has nothing to do with ones salvation.
Rather hard for them to discuss with someone who has no respect for women. Since you know you're Bible so well you'd know Jesus treated women with love and respect. Or did you skip those verses?
No you're not, you're not sorry at all. You're ignorant. With any luck you'll be banned. And the last thing you are, proven by your words and attitude here, is a gentleman.
Is this his swan song?! Oh, "Charish" the thought!!
Ugh, longest goodbye ever! Come on, chop, chop. Don't let the door hit ya...
Sigh... I think for Oldmans wife we can all say "So glad he's gone!" Now with any luck he's gone in the jungle to preach to monkeys and "real men" and we won't see him round the door again. What a wind bag!!

I often wonder if these threads are Merely click bait, designed simply for the pleasure of the one stirring Up and frustrating believers. I read about such people but I don’t understand the mentality, unless it is like a naughty child doing what they can to get attention? I really don’t get it. Very sad.

Ive got 8 tats. And I wonder if OP is more saved than I am? My late wife had 2. So, OP, did she die saved or not?. Your holier than thou attitude might well be a hindrance to new Christians but I wii say to tatooed noobs wanting Jesus that your tats wont condemn you so dont let ignorance discourage you.

There is a lot of "judgmentalism" toward the one that points out that tattoos are unGodly.
No one has suggested these people with tattoos are anymore unGodly than the rest of us sinning wretches. But, the point is, tattoos do not glorify God and disobeys a command not to get them. So does eating too much and becoming obese and having health issues that become life threatening when we are commanded to keep our "temple" in order. Many have tattoos that have regretted receiving them. There is no more judgment against them than there is for any other mourning repentant sinner.
I don't see the need to climb on high horses and point fingers at someone about any of this.

Really? What does it mean to make print marks upon yourself? And pagans were making tattoos back then just as they are today.
