1 Samuel 17:1-4 ▼

1 The Philistines rallied their forces for battle at Socoh in Judah and camped between Socoh and Azekah at Ephes-dammim.

2 Saul and the Israelites rallied and camped in the valley of the Elah, drawing up their battle line to meet the Philistines.

3 The Philistines were stationed on one hill and the Israelites on an opposite hill, with a valley between them.

4 A champion named Goliath of Gath came out from the Philistine camp; he was six cubits and a span tall.
