He was nine feet, nine inches talland wore a bronze helmet and bronze scale armor that weighed 125 pounds.There was bronze armor on his shins, and a bronze sword was slung between his shoulders.His spear shaft was like a weaver’s beam, and the iron point of his spear weighed 15 pounds. In addition, a shield-bearer was walking in front of him.He stood and shouted to the Israelite battle formations:“ Why do you come out to line up in battle formation?” He asked them,“ Am I not a Philistine and are you not servants of Saul? Choose one of your men and have him come down against me.If he wins in a fight against me and kills me, we will be your servants. But if I win against him and kill him, then you will be our servants and serve us.”Then the Philistine said,“ I defy the ranks of Israel today. Send me a man so we can fight each other!”
