1 Samuel 17:2-7

Living Bible

² Saul countered with a buildup of forces at Elah Valley. ³ So the Philistines and Israelis faced each other on opposite hills, with the valley between them.

^4-7 Then Goliath, a Philistine champion from Gath, came out of the Philistine ranks to face the forces of Israel. He was a giant of a man, measuring over nine feet tall! He wore a bronze helmet, a two-hundred-pound coat of mail, bronze leggings, and carried a bronze javelin several inches thick, tipped with a twenty-five-pound iron spearhead, and his armor bearer walked ahead of him with a huge shield.
