Goliath would have been about (9\u20199<\/strong>\u201d<\/span>) tall.\u00a0 The coat of mail went from shoulder to knee and weighed (175-200<\/span><\/strong>) pounds.\u00a0 He also had a bronze helmet, bronze leggings, and a bronze javelin, whose head weighed about (20-25<\/span><\/strong>) pounds.\u00a0 Shield was size of a full-grown man.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Eliab, one of those in fear, tells David to get lost.\u00a0 Notice Samuel\u2019s first choice for king in 16:6.<\/p>\n

\u00a0David knew his weapon. He didn\u2019t go after Goliath with the king\u2019s armor.\u00a0 He went after him with his (sling and staff<\/span><\/strong>).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0David knew his weapon. We can too. Turn to Ephesians 6:13-17.\u00a0<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSome trust in chariots and some trust in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.\u201d\u00a0 Psalm 20:7<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cI can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.\u201d\u00a0 Phil.4:13<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cMy grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.\u201d\u00a0 2 Cor.12:9<\/p>\n
