1 Samuel 17:34-37

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 1attacked him, and 2rescued it from his mouth; and when he rose up against me, I seized him by his beard and 3struck him and killed him.

36Your servant has 4killed 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.”

37And David said, “5The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “6Go, and may the Lord be with you.”
