The Philistines were stationed on one hill and the Israelites on an opposite hill, with a valley between them.
Saul and the Israelites rallied and camped in the valley of the Elah, drawing up their battle line to meet the Philistines.
A champion named Goliath of Gath came out from the Philistine camp; he was six cubits and a span tall.
And when he insulted Israel, Jonathan, son of David’s brother Shimei, struck him down.
