4. And there came out from the camp of the Philistines a champion named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
5. He had a helmet of bronze on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze.
6. And he had bronze armor on his legs, and a javelin of bronze slung between his shoulders.
7. The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron. And his shield-bearer went before him.
8. He stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why have you come out to draw up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.
9. If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us.”
10. And the Philistine said, “I defy the ranks of Israel this day. Give me a man, that we may fight together.”
