1 Samuel 17:32-36

32David said to Saul, “1Let no man’s heart fail on account of him; 2your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.”

33Then Saul said to David, “3You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth while he has been a warrior from his youth.”

34But David said to Saul, “Your servant was tending his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and took a lamb from the flock,

35I went out after him and 4attacked him, and 5rescued it from his mouth; and when he rose up against me, I seized him by his beard and 6struck him and killed him.

36Your servant has 7killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, since he has taunted the armies of the living God.”
