1 Samuel 17:4-11

4Then a champion stepped out from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

5He had a bronze helmet on his head and a breastplate of scale armor; the weight of the bronze breastplate was 5,000 shekels.

6He also had bronze shin-guards on his legs and a bronze javelin slung between his shoulders.

7The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and the head of his spear weighed 600 shekels of iron; and his shield-bearer was marching ahead of him.

8Then he stood and shouted out to the ranks of Israel saying to them, “Why come out to line up in battle array? Am I not the Philistine and aren’t you Saul’s servants? Choose for yourselves a man and let him come down to me.

9If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then will we become your slaves; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then will you become our slaves and serve us.”

10The Philistine added, “Today I defy the ranks of Israel—give me a man, so we may fight together!”

11But when Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and very terrified.
