7. And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and the head of his spear weighed six hundred sicles of iron: and his armourbearer went before him.
8. And standing he cried out to the bands of Israel, and said to them: Why are you come out prepared to fight? am not I a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose out a man of you, and let him come down and fight hand to hand.
9. If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, we will be servants to you: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, you shall be servants, and shall serve us.
10. And the Philistine said: I have defied the bands of Israel this day: Give me a man, and let him fight with me hand to hand.
11. And Saul and all the Israelites hearing these words of the Philistine were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
