1 Samuel 17:4-7
English Standard Version
4 And there came out from the camp of the Philistines a champion named (A)Goliath of (B)Gath, whose height was six[a] cubits[b] and a span. 5 He had a helmet of bronze on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels[c] of bronze. 6 And he had bronze armor on his legs, and a (C)javelin of bronze slung between his shoulders. 7 The shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron. (D)And his shield-bearer went before him.
