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 sheep from the flock,

35I went out after it and 1attacked it, and 2rescued the sheep from its mouth; and when it rose up against me, I grabbed it by its mane and struck it and killed it.

36Your servant has 3killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, since he has defied the armies of the living God.”

37And David said, “4The Lord who saved me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear, He will save me from the hand of this Philistine.” So Saul said to David, “5Go, and may the Lord be with you.”
