1 Samuel 17:1-4
''Now the Philistines gathered their armies together to battle, and were gathered together at Sochoh, which belongs to Judah; they encamped between Sochoh and Azekah, in Ephes Dammim.

Let us fight it out together!' 1 Samuel 17:5-10 (MSG)
(This Goliath was a big dude, he was Calais Campbell plus 2 ½ feet taller. Remember that the tallest guy in Israel's army was King Saul, he wasn't going out there. They felt that they had no hope, to fight him was futile, they did not remember who they were and who this army represented...Almighty God...all they could think of was what they saw in front of them.
