1 Samuel 17:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 And the shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam: and his spear head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.
8 And he stood, and cried against the host of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.
9 If he be able to fight with me, and [a]kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I overcome him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.
