THE BATTLE IS THE L-RD’S
1 Samuel 17:5-7: “He (Goliath) had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze. And he had bronze armour on his legs and a bronze javelin between his shoulders. Now the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and his iron spearhead weighed six hundred shekels; and a shield-bearer went before him.”
From the above scripture, we see that Goliath, who was preparing to face David in battle, was in full battle array with a helmet of bronze on his head, a coat of mail that weighed five thousand shekels of bronze and bronze armour on his legs.
Goliath’s weapons consisted of a sword, a bronze javelin, a spear whose staff was like a weaver’s beam, and a shield.
