Who killed Goliath?

According to the ESV, NIV, NASB95, NASB and others, it was Elhanan.

2 Samuel 21:19

21:19And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.


ESV & others:

21:19And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and  Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, the Bethlehemite, struck down Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

Even a mainstream site thinks this is a problem.
