1 Samuel 17:4-7
4Then a champion came forward from the army encampment of the Philistines, named 1Goliath, from 2Gath. His height was 3six cubits and a 4span.
5And he had a bronze helmet on his head, and he wore scale-armor 5which weighed 6five thousand shekels of bronze.
6He also had bronze 7greaves on his legs and a 8bronze 9saber slung between his shoulders.
710The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and the head of his spear weighed 11six hundred shekels of iron; and 12his shield-carrier walked in front of him.
