Moreover, early inscriptions found in Gath by archaeologists have names similar to Goliath written on them. Goliath was unusually tall. According to the Scriptures 1 Samuel and the Masoretic Text, written in Hebrew, Goliath was six cubits and a span—roughly nine feet, six inches. A cubit is an ancient unit of length that varied depending on the area or culture in which it was used.
It was based on the distance from the end of the elbow to the tip of the middle finger and was primarily used by the Sumerians, Egyptians, and Israelites. These lengths typically ranged between 45 and There was more than one standard length for the cubit in Ancient Israel. Goliath donned a wide range of military equipment. He wore a bronze-scaled coat of mail or armor made of brass plates having the appearance of scales of a fish weighing in at 5, shekels approximately 57 kg or lbs. The coat of mail covered him down to the waist.
His greaves, a type of leg armor used to protect the shin, also made of bronze, were commonly worn by Aegean cultures. The weight of the spearhead was around hundred shekels about 6.
The spear that Goliath carried would have been feet long, as the spears were often taller than their owners. His bronze helmet was similar to what the Assyrians wore during those days. He also held a spectacular sword, which David used to decapitate him.
According to scholars, all these pieces of arms and armor together may have weighed more than pounds. Some scholars believe that Goliath the Gittite an inhabitant of Gath belonged to a race of people known as the Nephilim Genesis One common explanation of Genesis 6 is that the Nephilim are the descendants of the sons of God fallen angels and the daughters of men.
