1 Samuel 17:4-7
4And there came out from the camp of the Philistines a champion named aGoliath of bGath, whose height was six ▼▼Hebrew; Septuagint, Dead Sea Scroll and Josephus four
cubits ▼▼A cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters
and a span. 5He 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 ▼▼A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams
of bronze. 6And he had bronze armor on his legs, and a fjavelin of bronze slung between his shoulders. 7The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron. gAnd his shield-bearer went before him.
