1 Samuel 17:4-8 Common English Bible (CEB)

4. A champion named Goliath from Gath came out from the Philistine camp. He was more than nine feet tall.

5. He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore bronze scale-armor weighing one hundred twenty-five pounds.

6. He had bronze plates on his shins, and a bronze scimitar hung on his back.

7. His spear shaft was as strong as the bar on a weaver’s loom, and its iron head weighed fifteen pounds. His shield-bearer walked in front of him.

8. He stopped and shouted to the Israelite troops, "Why have you come and taken up battle formations? I am the Philistine champion, and you are Saul’s servants. Isn’t that right? Select one of your men, and let him come down against me.
