1 Samuel 17:6 in context

The verses around it, from 1 Samuel 17.

2 Saul and the men of Israel assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah, arraying themselves for battle against the Philistines.

3 The Philistines stood on one hill and the Israelites stood on another, with the valley between them.

4 Then a champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out from the Philistine camp. He was six cubits and a span in height,

5 and he had a bronze helmet on his head. He wore a bronze coat of mail weighing five thousand shekels,

6 and he had armor of bronze on his legs and a javelin of bronze slung between his shoulders.

7 The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. In addition, his shield bearer went before him.

8 And Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and array yourselves for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose one of your men and have him come down against me.

9 If he is able to fight me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and labor for us.”

10 Then the Philistine said, “I defy the ranks of Israel this day! Give me a man to fight!”
