1 Samuel 17:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 Then a champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out from the Philistine camp. He was six cubits and a span in height,

5 and he had a bronze helmet on his head. He wore a bronze coat of mail weighing five thousand shekels,

6 and he had armor of bronze 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 its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. In addition, his shield bearer went before him.

8 And Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and array yourselves for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose one of your men and have him come down against me.
