1 Samuel 17:4

4 And there came out from the camp of the Philistines a champion named ^bGoliath of ^cGath, 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.

1 Samuel 17:45-49

45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with ^fa javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, ^gwhom you have defied. 46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down and cut off your head. ^hAnd I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day ⁱto the birds of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth, ^jthat all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, 47 and that all this assembly may know that ^kthe Lord saves not with sword and spear. ^lFor the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give you into our hand.”

48 When the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine. 49 And David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone and slung it and struck the Philistine on his forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground.

2 Samuel 21:16-22

16 And Ishbi-benob, one of the descendants ^mof the giants, whose spear weighed three hundred shekels ^{▼▼A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams} of bronze, and who was armed with a new sword, thought to kill David. 17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid and attacked the Philistine and killed him. Then David’s men swore to him, ^o“You shall no longer go out with us to battle, lest you quench ^pthe lamp of Israel.”

18 ^qAfter this there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. Then ^rSibbecai ^sthe Hushathite struck down Saph, who was one of the descendants ^tof the giants. 19 And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and ^uElhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, the Bethlehemite, struck down Goliath the Gittite, ^vthe shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. ^{▼▼Contrast 1 Chronicles 20:5, which may preserve the original reading} 20 And there was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number, and he also was descended ^xfrom the giants. 21 And when ^yhe taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, struck him down. 22 These four were descended ^zfrom the giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
