1 Samuel (1 Kingdoms) 21:9
"And the priest said, Behold the sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you struck in the valley of Ela; and it is wrapped in a cloth: if you will take it, take it for yourself, for there is no other except it here. And David said, Behold, there is none like it; give it me."

1 Samuel 21:9—Was Goliath’s armor kept in David’s tent or in Nob?
Problem: In this text the sword of Goliath was located in Nob (cf. v. 1). However, in 1 Samuel 17:54 it says David “put his [Goliath’s] armor in his tent.”
Solution: At first it was placed in his tent, but later it was taken to Nob. The two verses speak of different times.
