Entonces Goliat, campeón filisteo de Gat, salió de las filas filisteas y desafió a las fuerzas de Israel. Era un gigante de casi tres metros de alto. Usaba un yelmo de bronce, una cota de malla de unos sesenta kilos, grebas de bronce para las piernas, y una jabalina de bronce de varios centímetros de espesor, en cuyo extremo había una punta de lanza de hierro de más de siete kilos. Y su escudero llevaba un gran escudo delante de él. Goliat se paró y gritó para que lo oyeran los israelitas: «¿Necesitan todo un ejército para solucionar esto? Yo represento a los filisteos.
