5 He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of scale armour of bronze weighing five thousand shekels;
6 on his legs he wore bronze greaves, and a bronze javelin was slung on his back.
7 His spear shaft was like a weaver’s rod, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. His shield-bearer went ahead of him.
8 Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, ‘Why do you come out and line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul? Choose a man and let him come down to me.
9 If he is able to fight and kill me, we will become your subjects; but if I overcome him and kill him, you will become our subjects and serve us.’
10 Then the Philistine said, ‘This day I defy the armies of Israel! Give me a man and let us fight each other.’
11 On hearing the Philistine’s words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified.
