<span class="verse" id="V1">1 </span>Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim. <span class="verse" id="V2">2 </span>Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines. <span class="verse" id="V3">3 </span>The Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them. <span class="verse" id="V4">4 </span>A champion out of the camp of the Philistines named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span<a href="#FN1" class="notemark">*<span class="popup">A cubit is the length from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow on a man’s arm, or about 18 inches or 46 centimeters. A span is the length from the tip of a man’s thumb to the tip of his little finger when his hand is stretched out (about half a cubit, or 9 inches, or 22.8 cm.) Therefore, Goliath was about 9 feet and 9 inches or 2.97 meters tall.</span></a> went out. <span class="verse" id="V5">5 </span>He had a helmet of brass on his head, and he wore a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels<a href="#FN2" class="notemark">†<span class="popup">A shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35 ounces, so 5000 shekels is about 50 kilograms or 110 pounds.</span></a> of brass. <span class="verse" id="V6">6 </span>He had brass shin armor on his legs, and a brass javelin between his shoulders. <span class="verse" id="V7">7 </span>The staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron.<a href="#FN3" class="notemark">‡<span class="popup">A shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35 ounces, so 600 shekels is about 6 kilograms or about 13 pounds.</span></a> His shield bearer went before him. <span class="verse" id="V8">8 </span>He stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said to them, “Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me. <span class="verse" id="V9">9 </span>If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you will be our servants and serve us.” <span class="verse" id="V10">10 </span>The Philistine said, “I defy the armies of Israel today! Give me a man, that we may fight together!” </div><div class='p'> <span class="verse" id="V11">11 </span>When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid. <span class="verse" id="V12">12 </span>Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. The man was an elderly old man in the days of Saul. <span class="verse" id="V13">13 </span>The three oldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah. <span class="verse" id="V14">14 </span>David was the youngest; and the three oldest followed Saul. <span class="verse" id="V15">15 </span>Now David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Bethlehem. <span class="verse" id="V16">16 </span>The Philistine came near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days. <span class="verse" id="V17">17 </span>Jesse said to David his son, “Now take for your brothers an ephah <a href="#FN4" class="notemark">§<span class="popup">1 ephah is about 22 liters or about 2/3 of a bushel</span></a> of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to your brothers; <span class="verse" id="V18">18 </span>and bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news.” <span class="verse" id="V19">19 </span>Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines. <span class="verse" id="V20">20 </span>David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took and went, as Jesse had commanded him. He came to the place of the wagons, as the army which was going out to the fight shouted for the battle. <span class="verse" id="V21">21 </span>Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army. <span class="verse" id="V22">22 </span>David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers. <span class="verse" id="V23">23 </span>As he talked with them, behold, the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, came up out of the ranks of the Philistines, and said the same words; and David heard them. <span class="verse" id="V24">24 </span>All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were terrified. <span class="verse" id="V25">25 </span>The men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. The king will give great riches to the man who kills him, and will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house free in Israel.” </div><div class='p'> <span class="verse" id="V26">26 </span>David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, “What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?” </div><div class='p'> <span class="verse" id="V27">27 </span>The people answered him in this way, saying, “So shall it be done to the man who kills him.” </div><div class='p'> <span class="verse" id="V28">28 </span>Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger burned against David, and he said, “Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride, and the naughtiness of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle.” </div><div class='p'> <span class="verse" id="V29">29 </span>David said, “What have I now done? Is there not a cause?” <span class="verse" id="V30">30 </span>He turned away from him toward another, and spoke like that again; and the people answered him again the same way. <span class="verse" id="V31">31 </span>When the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him. <span class="verse" id="V32">32 </span>David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him. Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.” </div><div class='p'> <span class="verse" id="V33">33 </span>Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.” </div><div class='p'> <span class="verse" id="V34">34 </span>David said to Saul, “Your servant was keeping his father’s sheep; and when a lion or a bear came, and took a lamb out of the flock, <span class="verse" id="V35">35 </span>I went out after him, and struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and struck him, and killed him. <span class="verse" id="V36">36 </span>Your servant struck both the lion and the bear. This uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, since he has defied the armies of the living God.” <span class="verse" id="V37">37 </span>David said, “Yahweh who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.” </div><div class='p'>Saul said to David, “Go! Yahweh will be with you.” <span class="verse" id="V38">38 </span>Saul dressed David with his clothing. He put a helmet of brass on his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail. <span class="verse" id="V39">39 </span>David strapped his sword on his clothing, and he tried to move; for he had not tested it. David said to Saul, “I can’t go with these; for I have not tested them.” Then David took them off. </div><div class='p'> <span class="verse" id="V40">40 </span>He took his staff in his hand, and chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag which he had. His sling was in his hand; and he came near to the Philistine. <span class="verse" id="V41">41 </span>The Philistine walked and came near to David; and the man who bore the shield went before him. <span class="verse" id="V42">42 </span>When the Philistine looked around, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and had a good looking face. <span class="verse" id="V43">43 </span>The Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” The Philistine cursed David by his gods. <span class="verse" id="V44">44 </span>The Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky, and to the animals of the field.” </div><div class='p'> <span class="verse" id="V45">45 </span>Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to you in the name of Yahweh of Armies, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. <span class="verse" id="V46">46 </span>Today, Yahweh will deliver you into my hand. I will strike you, and take your head from off you. I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines today to the birds of the sky, and to the wild animals of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, <span class="verse" id="V47">47 </span>and that all this assembly may know that Yahweh doesn’t save with sword and spear; for the battle is Yahweh’s, and he will give you into our hand.” </div><div class='p'> <span class="verse" id="V48">48 </span>When the Philistine arose, and walked and came near to meet David, David hurried, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. <span class="verse" id="V49">49 </span>David put his hand in his bag, took a stone, and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth. <span class="verse" id="V50">50 </span>So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; but there was no sword in the hand of David. <span class="verse" id="V51">51 </span>Then David ran, stood over the Philistine, took his sword, drew it out of its sheath, killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled. <span class="verse" id="V52">52 </span>The men of Israel and of Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as Gai and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath and to Ekron. <span class="verse" id="V53">53 </span>The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines and they plundered their camp. <span class="verse" id="V54">54 </span>David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent. <span class="verse" id="V55">55 </span>When Saul saw David go out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the army, “Abner, whose son is this youth?” </div><div class='p'>Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I can’t tell.” </div><div class='p'> <span class="verse" id="V56">56 </span>The king said, “Inquire whose son the young man is!” </div><div class='p'> <span class="verse" id="V57">57 </span>As David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand. <span class="verse" id="V58">58 </span>Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, you young man?” </div><div class='p'>David answered, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.” </div><ul class="cmenu">

A cubit is the length from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow on a man’s arm, or about 18 inches or 46 centimeters. A span is the length from the tip of a man’s thumb to the tip of his little finger when his hand is stretched out (about half a cubit, or 9 inches, or 22.8 cm.) Therefore, Goliath was about 9 feet and 9 inches or 2.97 meters tall.</p>
