1 Samuel 17:1

David and Goliath

1 Now the Philistines gathered their armies together to battle, and were gathered at ^aSochoh, which belongs to Judah; they encamped between Sochoh and Azekah, in Ephes Dammim.

2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and they encamped in the Valley of Elah, and drew up in battle array against the Philistines.

3 The Philistines stood on a mountain on one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side, with a valley between them.

4 And a champion went out from the camp of the Philistines, named ^aGoliath, from ^bGath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

5 He had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was¹ armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze.
