Goliath of Gath defies the armies of Israel

가드 사람 골리앗이 이스라엘 군대를 모욕함

1 Samuel 17:4–11: a champion goes out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath of Gath, whose height is six cubits and a span. He has a helmet of bronze on his head, and he wears a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat is five thousand shekels of bronze. He has bronze shin armor on his legs and a bronze javelin between his shoulders. The staff of his spear is like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighs six hundred shekels of iron. His shield bearer goes before him. He stands and cries to the armies of Israel, and says to them, “Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me. If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you will be our servants and serve us.” The Philistine says, “I defy the armies of Israel today! Give me a man, that we may fight together!” When Saul and all Israel hear those words of the Philistine, they are dismayed and greatly afraid.
