Goliath’s staff of his spear was like a weavers beam…which means the long staff of his spear probably weighed at least 17 pounds. Additionally, the scripture specifically says that the spear’s head weighed 600 shekels of iron which is the equivalent of 16 pounds. One scholar has speculated that the weight of all these pieces of weaponry together…his helmet, breastplate, greaves, brass javelin, spear, and shield…MAY HAVE WEIGHED IN EXCESS OF 700 POUNDS!
