The basic Hebrew unit of weight (1Sa 17:5, 7; Eze 4:10; Am 8:5) and of monetary value. Based on the average of some 45 inscribed shekel weights, the shekel may be reckoned at 11.4 g (0.403 oz avdp; 0.367 oz t). One shekel equaled 20 gerahs (Nu 3:47; 18:16), and there is evidence that 50 shekels equaled one mina. Calculated in modern values, a shekel of silver would be worth $2.20, and a shekel of gold, $128.45.
So multiply it by 600! so in other words 15 pounds
600 shekels of iron would weigh approximately 7.2 kilograms.

Well, isn't that a lovely question! The weight of 5000 shekels can vary depending on the material they are made of. If we are talking about ancient shekels, they were made of silver and 5000 shekels would weigh around 55 kilograms. But if we are talking about modern Israeli shekels, which are made of a lighter material, 5000 shekels would weigh much less, around 5.5 kilograms.
they weigh atleast 600 pounds!
