 5Y traía un almete de acero en su cabeza, é iba vestido con corazas de planchas: y era el peso de la coraza cinco mil siclos de metal:
 6Y sobre sus piernas traía grebas de hierro, y escudo de acero á sus hombros.
 7El asta de su lanza era como un enjullo de telar, y tenía el hierro de su lanza seiscientos siclos de hierro: é iba su escudero delante de él.
