1 Samuel 17:5-10 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

5. And he had a helmet of bronze upon his head, and he was clothed with a corselet of scales; and the weight of the corselet was five thousand shekels of bronze.

6. And he had greaves of bronze upon his legs, and a javelin of bronze between his shoulders.

7. And the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron; and the shield-bearer went before him.

8. And he stood and cried to the ranks of Israel, and said to them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I the Philistine, and ye servants of Saul? choose for yourselves a man, and let him come down to me.

9. If he be able to fight with me, and to smite me, then will we be your servants; but if I overcome and smite him, then shall ye be our servants and serve us.

10. And the Philistine said, I have defied the ranks of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
