1 Samuel 17:32-36

32And DavidH1732 saidH559 toH413 SaulH7586, “Let noH408 man’sH120 heartH3820 failH5307 on account ofH5921 thisH2088 PhilistineH6430. Your servantH5650 will goH1980 and fight himH3898H5973!”

33But SaulH7586H413H1732 repliedH559, “You cannotH3808H3201 go outH1980 againstH413 thisH2088 PhilistineH6430 to fightH3898 himH5973H3588. You areH859 just a boyH5288, and heH1931 has been a warriorH376H4421 from his youthH5271.”

34DavidH1732 repliedH559, “Your servantH5650 has been tendingH7462H1961 his father’sH1 sheepH6629, and whenever a lionH738H854 or a bearH1677 cameH935 and carried offH5375 a lambH7716 from the flockH5739, 35I wentH3318 after itH310, struck it downH5221, and deliveredH5337 the lamb from its mouthH6310. If it reared upH6965 against meH5921, I would grabH2388 it by its furH2206, strike it downH5221, and kill itH4191. 36Your servantH5650 has killedH5221 lionsH738H1571 andH1571 bearsH1677; thisH2088 uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430 will beH1961 like oneH259 of them, forH3588 he has defiedH2778 the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430.”
