David and Goliath

4 And there came out from the camp of the Philistines a champion named a Goliath of b Gath, whose height was six 1 cubits 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 2 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.
