1 Samuel 17:34-37

34And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, Thy servantH5650 wasH1961 keeping his father’sH1 sheepH6629; and when there cameH935 a lionH738, or a bearH5375, and tookH5375 a lambH7716 out of the flockH6629, 35I wentH3318 out after him, and smote him, and deliveredH5337 it out of his mouthH6310; and when he aroseH6965 against me, I caught him by his beardH2206, and smote him, and slew him. 36Thy servantH5650 smote both the lionH738 and the bearH1677: and this uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430 shall beH1961 as oneH259 of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living GodH430. 37And DavidH1732 saidH559, Jehovah that deliveredH5337 me out of the paw of the lionH738, and out of the paw of the bearH1677, he will deliverH5337 me out of the handH3027 of this PhilistineH6430. And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Go, and Jehovah shall beH1961 with thee.
