1 Samuel 17:1-11

1Now 1the PhilistinesH6430 gatheredH622 their armiesH4264 for battleH4421; and they were gatheredH622 at SocohH7755 whichH834 belongs to JudahH3063, and they campedH2583 betweenH996 2SocohH7755 and 3AzekahH5825, in 4Ephes-dammimH658. 2SaulH7586 and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were gatheredH622 and campedH2583 in 5the valleyH6010 of ElahH424, and drewH6186 up in battleH4421 array to encounterH7122 the PhilistinesH6430. 3The PhilistinesH6430 stoodH5975 on the mountainH2022 on oneH2088 sideH2088 while IsraelH3478 stoodH5975 on the mountainH2022 on the otherH2088 sideH2088, with the valleyH1516 betweenH996 them. 4Then a championH376H996 cameH3318 out from the armiesH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 namedH8034 6GoliathH1555, from 7GathH1661, whose heightH1363 was sixH8337 8cubitsH520 and a spanH2239. 5He had a bronzeH5178 helmetH3553 on his headH7218, and he was clothedH3847 with scale-armorH7193 9which weighedH4948 fiveH2568 thousandH505 shekelsH8255 of bronzeH5178. 6He also had bronzeH5178 10greavesH4697 on his legsH7272 and a 11bronzeH5178 javelinH3591 slung betweenH996 his shouldersH3802. 712The shaftH2671 of his spearH2595 was like a weaver’sH707 beamH4500, and the headH3852 of his spearH2595 weighed sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of ironH1270; 13his shield-carrierH6793H5375 also walkedH1980 beforeH6440 him. 8He stoodH5975 and shoutedH7121 to the ranksH4634 of IsraelH3478 and saidH559 to them, “WhyH4100 do you comeH3318 out to drawH6186 up in battleH4421 array? Am I not the PhilistineH6430 and you 14servantsH5650 of SaulH7586? ChooseH1262 a manH376 for yourselves and let him comeH3381 downH3381 to me. 915IfH518 he is ableH3201 to fightH3898 with me and 16killH5221 me, then we will becomeH1961 your servantsH5650; but ifH518 I prevailH3201 against him and 17killH5221 him, then you shall becomeH1961 our servantsH5650 and serveH5647 us.” 10Again the PhilistineH6430 saidH559, “18I defyH2778 the ranksH4634 of IsraelH3478 thisH2088 dayH3117; giveH5414 me a manH376 that we may fightH3898 togetherH3162.” 11When SaulH7586 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 heardH8085 theseH428 wordsH1697 of the PhilistineH6430, they were dismayedH2865 and greatlyH3966 afraidH3372.
