4 Then a champion e came out from the armies of the Philistines named Goliath , from Gath , whose height was six cubits and a span . 5 He had a bronze helmet on his head , and he was clothed with scale-armor which weighed five thousand shekels of bronze . 6 He also had bronze greaves on his legs and a bronze javelin slung between his shoulders . 7 The shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam , and the head of his spear weighed six hundred shekels of iron ; his shield-carrier e also walked before him.

Commentary on 1 Samuel 17:1-11
(Read 1 Samuel 17:1-11)
Men so entirely depend upon God in all things, that when he withdraws his help, the most valiant and resolute cannot find their hearts or hands, as daily experience shows.
