SCENE I. THE CHALLENGE
Place: On the battlefield.
First Brother: Have ye seen this Philistine who is come up, this giant who has defied the armies of the living God?
Second Brother: Who has seen him?
Third Brother: I have seen him; he is verily a giant. His height is six cubits and a span. He weareth an helmet of brass upon his head, and he is armed with a coat of mail, and he hath greaves of brass upon his legs, and the staff of his spear is like the weaver's beam; and one bearing a shield goeth before him. Our soldiers are truly afraid. They flee as he approacheth.
