5361. The Goliath inscription found in Tell Gath (Tell Es Safi). Gath is known as the home town of the Biblical giant Goliath. The inscription scratched on a small sherd, written in Prtoto-Cnaanite letters is the earliest Philistine inscription ever found. It contains two non-Semitic names: Alwt and Wlt which, according to some researchers are similar to the Philistine name of Goliath.
