4 Then a champion came forward from the army encampment of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath. His height was 17:4 About 9 ft. or 2.7 msix cubits and a 17:4 About 9 in. or 23 cmspan.
33 But Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight him; for you are only a youth, while he has been a warrior since his youth." 37 And David said, "The Lord who saved me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear, He will save me from the hand of this Philistine." So Saul said to David, "Go, and may the Lord be with you." 40 Then he took his staff in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the shepherd’s bag which he had, that is, in his shepherd’s pouch, and his sling was in his hand; and he approached the Philistine.
45 But David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a 17:45 Lit scimitarsaber, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of armies, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
49 And David put his hand into his bag and took from it a stone and slung it, and struck the Philistine on his forehead. And the stone penetrated his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground.
