1 Samuel 17:4-11

4And there wentH3318 out a champion out of the campH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, namedH8034 GoliathH1555, of GathH1661, whose heightH1363 was sixH8337 cubitsH520 and a spanH2239. 5And he had a helmetH3553 of brass upon his headH7218, and he was clad with a coat of mail; and the weightH4948 of the coat was fiveH2568 thousandH505 shekelsH8255 of brass. 6And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a javelinH3591 of brass between his shouldersH3802. 7And the staff of his spearH2595 was like a weaver’sH707 beamH4500; and his spear’s head weighed sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of ironH1270: and his shield-bearer wentH1980 before him. 8And he stoodH5975 and cried unto the armies of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto them, WhyH4100 are ye comeH3318 out to setH5975 your battleH4421 in array? am not I a PhilistineH6430, and ye servantsH5650 to SaulH7586? choose you a manH376 for you, and let him comeH3318 down to me. 9If he beH1961 ableH3201 to fightH3898 with me, and kill me, then will we beH1961 your servantsH5650; but if I prevailH3201 against him, and kill him, then shall ye beH1961 our servantsH5650, and serveH5647 us. 10And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559, I defyH2778 the armies of IsraelH3478 this dayH3117; giveH5414 me a manH376, that we may fightH3898 togetherH3162. 11And when SaulH7586 and all IsraelH3478 heardH8085 those wordsH1697 of the PhilistineH6430, they were dismayedH2865, and greatly afraidH3372.
