how much did goliath's armor weigh
Goliathâs coat of armor is massive at 125 lbs. Interestingly, the Hebrew term for it is shiryown qasqesethiym or âarmor 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.
Goliath was either 6 cubits and a span (a little less than 3 meters or 9'6) or 4 cubits and a span (2.1 meters or 6'9). When calculating weight (for muscular or stocky people) you take their height in feet and cube it, which would put Goliath's weight at around either 860 lbs (taller height) or 310 lbs (shorter height).
