will go and fight with this Philistine.”
    33. And Saul said to David: “Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.”
    34. And David said unto Saul: “Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock. And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth, and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him. Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them seeing that he hath defied the armies of the living God.”
    37. David said moreover: “The Lord that 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.” And Saul said unto David: “Go, and the Lord be with thee.”
    40. And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook and put them in a shepherd’s bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand; and he drew near to the Philistine.
    41. And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him.
    42. And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.
    43. And the Philistine said unto David: “Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
    44. And the Philistine said to David: “Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.”
    45. Then said David to the Philistine: “Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield; and I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, Whom thou hast defied. This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the Earth; that all the Earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
    And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord’s and He will give you into our hands.”
    49. And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
    50. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
    51. Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.

    The story of David versus Goliath has become an oft-used metaphor in our daily language. Let us now look a little closer at this record. Goliath was a champion of the Philistines (which are now the modern-day Palestinians). You will note that he hailed from Gath which, along with Gaza and Ashdod, was where a remnant of giants, who had not been defeated by the armies of Joshua 477 years earlier, escaped to. Goliath was descended from this remnant of giants.
    This was a big man. His height is given as six cubits and a span. That would make him about 13 feet 6 inches tall at 25.025 inches to the Hebrew cubit. We are not given his weight, but it must have been in proportion to his height as his coat of mail weighed more than 11 stone. The head of his spear was over a stone in weight and the shaft was like a weaver’s beam. He wore six pieces of armour in all, he was 6 cubits tall and his spearhead was 600 shekels in weight. Thus the number six is here stamped all over him like a hallmark. David, on the
