+------The Largest Presumptions; Goliath's Thoughts While Walking Towards David

This isn’t a battle to me, a
trope of might making borders right,
but pride in lust for a way of life:
the Philistine way, the way of
jackals lurking, hidden behind
thick shadows of trees’ branches
beneath the half moon’s –dark
cloud- wink. Hegeomic hunt of  
nations. Thirsting for blood of peoples
to slake the thirst of Baal’s savagery.
So I can maintain my opulence:
helmet of bronze, coat of mail
of thousands of shekels…my drinking
before fire, grand temple orgies. This
is about crushing little shepherds,
Hebrews. Or whatever threatens
my fealty to and the worship proper
of Dagon throughout the whole world.

------1 Samuel 17:4-11
A champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. His height was six cubits and a span. He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of scale armor of bronze weighing five thousand shekels; on his legs he wore bronze greaves, and a bronze javelin was slung on his back. His spear shaft was like a weaver’s rod, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. His shield bearer went ahead of him. Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul? Choose a man and have him come down to me. If he is able to fight and kill me, we will become your subjects; but if I overcome him and kill him, you will become our subjects and serve us.” Then the Philistine said, “This day I defy the armies of Israel! Give me a man and let us fight each other.” On hearing the Philistine’s words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified.
