1 Samuel 17:6-8
Amplified Bible
6 He had bronze shin protectors on his legs and a bronze [a]javelin hung between his shoulders. 7 The [wooden] shaft of his spear was like a [b]weaver’s beam; the blade-head of his spear weighed [c]six hundred shekels of iron. And a [d]shield-bearer walked in front of him. 8 Goliath stood and shouted to the battle lines of Israel, saying to them, “Why have you come out to draw up for battle? Am I not the Philistine and are you not servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves and have him come down to me.
