1 Samuel 17:7 in Context — 1 Samuel 17

5 E trazia um capacete de bronze em sua cabeça, e ia vestido com couraças de placas: e era o peso da couraça cinco mil siclos de bronze:

6 E sobre suas pernas trazia caneleiras de ferro, e escudo de bronze a seus ombros.

7 A haste de sua lança era como um lançador de tear, e tinha o ferro de sua lança seiscentos siclos de ferro: e ia seu escudeiro diante dele.

8 E parou-se, e deu vozes aos esquadrões de Israel, dizendo-lhes: Para que saís a dar batalha? não sou eu o filisteu, e vós os servos de Saul? Escolhei dentre vós um homem que venha contra mim:

9 Se ele puder lutar comigo, e me vencer, nós seremos vossos servos: e se eu puder mais que ele, e o vencer, vós sereis nossos servos e nos servireis.
