1 Samuel 17:1-11 (NASB)

​1  Now the Philistines gathered their armies for battle; and they were gathered at Socoh which belongs to Judah, and they camped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.  2  Saul and the men of Israel were gathered and camped in the valley of Elah, and drew up in battle array to encounter the Philistines.  3  The Philistines stood on the mountain on one side while Israel stood on the mountain on the other side, with the valley between them.  4  Then a champion came out from the armies of the Philistines named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.  5  He had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was clothed with scale-armor which weighed five thousand shekels of bronze.  6  He also had bronze greaves on his legs and a bronze javelin slung between his shoulders.  7  The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and the head of his spear weighed six hundred shekels of iron; his shield-carrier also walked before him.  8  He stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel and said to them, “Why do you come out to draw up in battle array? Am I not the Philistine and you 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 become your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall become our servants and serve us.”  10  Again the Philistine said, “I defy the ranks of Israel this day; give me a man that we may fight together.”  11  When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.
