1 Samuel 17:2-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 17
2Saul and the men of Israel were assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah, and they drew up in battle formation to confront the Philistines. 3The Philistines were standing on the mountain on one side, while Israel was standing on the mountain on the other side, with the valley between them. 4Then a champion came forward from the army encampment of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath. His height was six cubits and a span. 5And he had a bronze helmet on his head, and he wore scale-armor which weighed five thousand shekels of bronze. 6He also had bronze greaves on his legs and a bronze saber slung between his shoulders. 7The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and the head of his spear weighed six hundred shekels of iron; and his shield-carrier walked in front of him.King James Version
Chapter 17
2And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines. 3And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them. 4And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. 5And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass. 6And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders. 7And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.Christian Standard Bible
3The Philistines were standing on one hill, and the Israelites were standing on another hill with a ravine between them.
4Then a champion named Goliath, from Gath, came out from the Philistine camp. He was nine feet, nine inches tall
5and wore a bronze helmet and bronze scale armor that weighed one hundred twenty-five pounds.
6There was bronze armor on his shins, and a bronze javelin was slung between his shoulders.
7His spear shaft was like a weaver's beam, and the iron point of his spear weighed fifteen pounds. In addition, a shield-bearer was walking in front of him.
New Living Translation
Chapter 17
2Saul countered by gathering his Israelite troops near the valley of Elah. 3So the Philistines and Israelites faced each other on opposite hills, with the valley between them.
4Then Goliath, a Philistine champion from Gath, came out of the Philistine ranks to face the forces of Israel. He was over nine feet tall!
5He wore a bronze helmet, and his bronze coat of mail weighed 125 pounds.
6He also wore bronze leg armor, and he carried a bronze javelin on his shoulder.
7The shaft of his spear was as heavy and thick as a weaver’s beam, tipped with an iron spearhead that weighed 15 pounds. His armor bearer walked ahead of him carrying a shield.
