⁴ The Philistines had a champion fighter from Gath named Goliath. He was about nine feet, four inches tall. He came out of the Philistine camp ⁵ with a bronze helmet on his head and a coat of bronze armor that weighed about one hundred twenty-five pounds. ⁶ He wore bronze protectors on his legs, and he had a bronze spear on his back.

²⁴ When the Israelites saw Goliath, they were very much afraid and ran away.

⁴⁵ But David said to him, “You come to me using a sword and two spears. But I come to you in the name of the Lord All-Powerful, the God of the armies of Israel! You have spoken against him.
