Goliath
Goliath is described in the biblical Book of Samuel as a Philistine giant defeated by the young David in single combat. The story signified Saul's unfitness to rule, as Saul himself should have fought for the Kingdom of Israel.
Le Chambon-sur-Lignon
Malcolm Gladwell uses Chambon-sur-Lignon in his book "David and Goliath" as an example of how the rebellious origin of its people influenced their actions when protecting Jewish people during the Second World War.
