1 Samuel 17:3 in Context — 1 Samuel 17

1 Les Philistins réunirent leurs armées pour faire la guerre, et ils se rassemblèrent à Soco, qui appartient à Juda; ils campèrent entre Soco et Azéka, à Éphès-Dammim.

2 Saül et les hommes d’Israël se rassemblèrent aussi; ils campèrent dans la vallée des térébinthes, et ils se mirent en ordre de bataille contre les Philistins.

3 Les Philistins étaient vers la montagne d’un côté, et Israël était vers la montagne de l’autre côté: la vallée les séparait.

4 Un homme sortit alors du camp des Philistins et s’avança entre les deux armées. Il se nommait Goliath, il était de Gath, et il avait une taille de six coudées et un empan.

5 Sur sa tête était un casque d’airain, et il portait une cuirasse à écailles du poids de cinq mille sicles d’airain.
