4 And there goeth out a man of the duellists from the camps of the Philistines, Goliath 'is' his name, from Gath; his height 'is' six cubits and a span, 5 and a helmet of brass 'is' on his head, and 'with' a scaled coat of mail he 'is' clothed, and the weight of the coat of mail 'is' five thousand shekels of brass, 6 and a frontlet of brass 'is' on his feet, and a javelin of brass between his shoulders, 7 and the wood of his spear 'is' like a beam of weavers', and the flame of his spear 'is' six hundred shekels of iron, and the bearer of the buckler is going 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.
