According to the Babylonian Talmud ( Sotah 42b ) Goliath was a son of Orpah, the sister-in-law of Ruth, David's own great grandmother ( Ruth → Obed → Jesse → David ).
Ruth Rabbah, a haggadic and homiletic interpretation of the Book of Ruth, makes the blood-relationship even closer, considering Orpah and Ruth to have been full sisters.
Orpah was said to have made a pretense of accompanying Ruth but after forty paces left her.
Thereafter she led a dissolute life.
According to the Jerusalem Talmud Goliath was born by polyspermy, and had about one hundred fathers.
