1 Samuel 17:6-8
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
6 And he had greaves of brass on his legs, and a buckler of brass covered his shoulders.
7 And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and the head of his spear weighed six hundred sicles of iron: and his armourbearer went before him.
8 And standing he cried out to the bands of Israel, and said to them: Why are you come out prepared to fight? am not I a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose out a man of you, and let him come down and fight hand to hand.
