Context
6Miguuni mwake alivaa mabamba ya shaba, na alikuwa na mkuki wa shaba mgongoni mwake. 7Mpini wa huo mkuki ulikuwa kama mti wa mfumaji, na ncha ya chuma yake ilikuwa na uzito wa shekeli mia sita.* Mbeba ngao wake alitangulia mbele yake. 8Goliathi alisimama na kuwapigia kelele majeshi ya Israeli, akisema, “Kwa nini mmetoka kupanga vita? Je, mimi si Mfilisti, na ninyi ni watumishi wa Sauli? Chagueni mtu na anishukie mimi. 9Kama anaweza kupigana nami na kuniua, tutakuwa chini yenu; lakini kama nikimshinda na kumuua, ninyi mtakuwa chini yetu na mtatutumikia.” 10Kisha yule Mfilisti akasema, “Siku hii ya leo nayatukana majeshi ya Israeli! Nipeni mtu tupigane.”
