Biblical hero David sculpture of in the courtyard of the Citadel

Goliath was the biggest man in the Philistine army of 6 cubits (2.7 m) height, a discharge athlete, his armor alone weighed 57 kg. The sculpture depicts young David, the future king of Israel, but at that time he was a difficult teenager, whom King Saul put up in a duel with the heavyweight Goliath. David has just hit Goliath in the forehead with a stone from a sling, cut off his head, and stands with a sense of accomplishment. The Philistines, seeing this, were afraid and fled.
