4There went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
5He had a helmet of brass on his head, and he was clad with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.
6He had brass shin-armor on his legs, and a javelin of brass between his shoulders.
7The staff 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.
8He stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said to them, Why are you come out to set your battle in array? am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.
9If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall you be our servants, and serve us.
10The Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
