I mean he was a shepherd just like David and his name is David (his real name), and maybe we might see Goliath from the untold realm. Might not happen, but that would be funny and thrilling.

And after all, he was already two other characters aside from being Snow's prince. The Pauper from "The Prince and the Pauper", and Rapunzel's prince. They won't do David and Goliath because it is from The Bible. And they won't touch any modern day religions on the show, because then they are making a political statement that they are fictional. David is already David from the bible, they did some aspects from The Book of Samuel, part 1 with King George as Kind Saul. In addition David's Grandmother was Ruth (his mother on the show). Moreover, Biblical stories are adapted by media all the time, there is no reason why OUAT wouldn't do it. I must have missed the part in the bible where David marries Snow White. XD No, you just missed the part where the Crocodile from Peter Pan is also the Beast and the Miller's daughter is also the Queen of Hearts and as far as I remember these weren't a part of the original stories. I still don't think we can consider Once's David to be Biblical David, just because his mother also has a biblical name, and he shares like one or two similarities with Biblical David. Did the writers intend for you to think of Biblical David in certain spots? Possibly. But did they want him to outright be, or even heavily allude to, Biblical David? Doubtful.
