6 He wore bronze protectors on his legs, and he had a bronze spear on his back.
7 The wooden part of his larger spear was like a weaver’s rod, and its blade weighed about fifteen pounds. The officer who carried his shield walked in front of him.
8 Goliath stood and shouted to the Israelite soldiers, “Why have you taken positions for battle? I am a Philistine, and you are Saul’s servants! Choose a man and send him to fight me.

10 Then he said, “Today I stand and dare the army of Israel! Send one of your men to fight me!”
11 When Saul and the Israelites heard the Philistine’s words, they were very scared.
