6. And he had greaves of brass upon his legs and a shield of brass between his shoulders.
7. And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron, and one bearing a shield went before him.
8. And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and ye slaves to Saul? Choose a man from among you, and let him come down to me.
9. If he is able to fight with me and to overcome me, then will we be your slaves, but if I prevail against him and overcome him, then ye shall be our slaves and serve us.
10. And the Philistine said, I have dishonoured the ranks of Israel today; give me a man that we may fight together.
11. When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.
