Tree Of Life Version

1 Samuel 17:4-10 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

4. Then a champion stepped out from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

5. He had a bronze helmet on his head and a breastplate of scale armor; the weight of the bronze breastplate was 5,000 shekels.

6. He also had bronze shin-guards on his legs and a bronze javelin slung between his shoulders.

7. The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and the head of his spear weighed 600 shekels of iron; and his shield-bearer was marching ahead of him.

8. Then he stood and shouted out to the ranks of Israel saying to them, “Why come out to line up in battle array? Am I not the Philistine and aren’t you Saul’s servants? Choose for yourselves a man and let him come down to me.

9. If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then will we become your slaves; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then will you become our slaves and serve us.”

10. The Philistine added, “Today I defy the ranks of Israel—give me a man, so we may fight together!”
