2. Saul and the men of Israel were encamped in the Valley of Elah and drew up in battle array against the Philistines.
3. And the Philistines stood on a mountain on one side and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side, with the valley between them.
4. And a champion went out of the camp of the Philistines named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span [almost ten feet].
5. And he had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of mail, and the coat weighed 5,000 shekels of bronze.
6. He had bronze shin armor on his legs and a bronze javelin across his shoulders.
7. And the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam; his spear's head weighed 600 shekels of iron. And a shield bearer went before him.
