The meaning of Champion in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)
cham'-pi-un ('ish habenayim): In I Samuel 17:4, I Samuel 17:23 this unusual expression occurs in the description of Goliath. It means literally "the man of the two spaces," "spaces," or "space between," and is perhaps to be explained by the fact that there was a brook flowing through the valley separating the two armies. In I Samuel 17:51 the word champion is the rendering of the Hebrew gibbor, "mighty man."
