Goliathâs coat of armor is massive at 125 lbs. Interestingly, the Hebrew term for it is shiryown qasqesethiym or âarmor of scalesâ. It is incorrect to translate the word as mail even though most English Bibles do. Mail is made of interlocked chains â a technique that was not used until the medieval period.
Various Bible commentaries place the length of a cubit anywhere from 17 inches (43.2 centimeters) to 21 inches (53.3 centimeters). The length of a span is highly likely around 9 inches (22.9 centimeters). Conservatively, Goliath was 9 feet 3 inches tall or 2.82 meters and likely was a bit bigger! Compare this to the average height of a U.S. male (2003 to 2006 data) of 5 feet 10 inches (1.8 meters). Regarding the size and weight of Goliath's armor the Bible says his battle coat weighed 5,000 shekels of bronze.
