1 Samuel 17:4-11

4A champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. His height was six cubits and a span.

5He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of scale armor of bronze weighing five thousand shekels;

6on his legs he wore bronze greaves, and a bronze javelin was slung on his back.

7His spear shaft was like a weaver’s rod, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. His shield bearer went ahead of him.

8Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul? Choose a man and have him come down to me.

9If he is able to fight and kill me, we will become your subjects; but if I overcome him and kill him, you will become our subjects and serve us.”

10Then the Philistine said, “This day I defy the armies of Israel! Give me a man and let us fight each other.”

11On hearing the Philistine’s words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified.
