Send me a man. Any man.
From Gath. Champion of the Philistine army. Six cubits and a span tall, bronze from head to foot, and I’ve been fighting since I was a boy. Forty days I’ve been asking Israel for one man. Nobody’s come.
Gath, PhilistiaFirst seen 1 Samuel 17:4
Calling out the whole army of Israel today. Send me a man. Any man.
A soldier in Saul’s army@saulsarmy · Valley of ElahDay forty. Every morning and every evening this Philistine from Gath comes out and shouts for one of us to fight him. Nearly three metres tall. Nobody moves. Not one of us.Am I a dog? You’re coming at me with sticks? Come here, kid. I’ll feed you to the birds.
Why line up for a battle? I’m a Philistine. You’re Saul’s servants. Pick one man and send him down to me. If he can fight me and kill me, we’ll be your servants. If I kill him, you serve us. Simple.

Still waiting.
What am I, a dog? You’re coming at me with sticks? Come here, and I’ll feed you to the birds and the wild animals.
