1 Samuel 17:4-11
4And there wentH3318 outH3318 a champion outH3318 of the campH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, namedH8034 GoliathH1555, of GathH1661, whoseH376 heightH1363 was sixH8337 cubitsH520 and a spanH2239.
5And he had an helmetH3553 of brassH5178 uponH5921 his headH7218, and he was clad with a coat of mail; and the weightH4948 of the coat was fiveH2568 thousandH505 shekelsH8255 of brassH5178.
6And he had greavesH4697 of brassH5178 uponH5921 his legsH7272, and a javelinH3591 of brassH5178 betweenH996 his shouldersH3802.
7And the staff of his spearH2595 was like a weaver’sH707 beamH4500; and his spear’s headH6440 weighed sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of ironH1270: and his shield-bearer wentH1980 beforeH6440 him.
8And he stoodH5975 and criedH7121 unto the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto them, WhyH4100 are ye comeH3318 outH3318 to setH5975 your battleH4421 in arrayH4421? am notH3808 I a PhilistineH6430, and ye servantsH5650 to SaulH7586? chooseH1262 youH859 a manH376 for youH859, and letH3381 him comeH3318 downH3381 to meH413.
9IfH518 he be ableH3201 to fightH3898 with meH589, and killH5221 meH589, then will weH518 be your servantsH5650: but ifH518 I prevailH3201 againstH854 him, and killH5221 him, then shall ye be our servantsH5650, and serveH5647 usH5647.
10And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559, I defyH2778 the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478 this dayH3117; giveH5414 meH5414 a manH376, that weH3117 may fightH3898 togetherH3162.
11And when SaulH7586 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 heardH8085 thoseH428 wordsH1697 of the PhilistineH6430, they were dismayedH2865, and greatlyH3966 afraidH3372.
