What Was Goliath’s Armor In Battle? | Episode 5 of Part 2: Goliath

An Israeli farmer in 1962 was plowing his field one day and came upon a miraculous discovery: Enormous, oversized pieces of weapons and armor. In the fifth episode of Part: 2 in the “David & The Giants” series, Michael Lane first lays out the Biblical description of the Philistine’s battle attire, and then adds support to this Biblical account with archaeological evidence found in Israel. 1 Samuel 17:5-7 in the Bible tells us that Goliath wore a helmet, a 140 pound coat of five thousand shekels, and a javelin. Findings in Kfar Monash match these descriptions of oversized weapons and armor, including pieces of daggers, axes, and spearheads, which are now featured in museums of Israel. Visit the E4F studio with Michael to dive into God’s Word and explore modern-day discoveries that add support to Goliath’s story.

You have joined Episode 5 of Part 2: Goliath (Episode 12 of the entire “David & The Giants” series), a three-part series to uncover evidence found in archaeology and prove the existence of King David, Goliath, and the Giants.
