1 Samuel 17:4-7

⁴ A giant nearly ten feet tall stepped out from the Philistine line into the open, Goliath from Gath. ⁵ He had a bronze helmet on his head and was dressed in armor - 126 pounds of it! ⁶ He wore bronze shin guards and carried a bronze sword. ⁷ His spear was like a fence rail - the spear tip alone weighed over fifteen pounds. His shield bearer walked ahead of 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.
