1 Samuel 17:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷ The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam and the point of his spear weighed six hundred iron shekels. His shield bearer^[a] was walking in front of him.

⁸ He stood and called to the battle lines of Israel and said to them, “Why have you come out to form ranks for battle? Am I not the Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Commission for yourselves a man and let him come down to me. ⁹ If he is able to fight with me and he defeats me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail over him and defeat him, then you will be our servants and you will serve us.”
