1 Samuel 17:4-7

4Then a champion came out from the armies of the Philistines named 1Goliath, from 2Gath, whose height was six 3cubits and a span.

5He had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was clothed with scale-armor 4which weighed five thousand shekels of bronze.

6He also had bronze 5greaves on his legs and a 6bronze javelin slung between his shoulders.

77The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and the head of his spear weighed six hundred shekels of iron; 8his shield-carrier also walked before him.
