1 Samuel 17:34-37

34But DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, “Your servantH5650 was tendingH7462 his father’sH1 sheepH6629. When a lionH738 or a bearH1677 cameH935 and tookH5375 a sheepH7716 from the flockH5739,

35I wentH3318 outH3318 afterH310 it and 1attackedH5221 it, and 2rescuedH5337 the sheep from its mouthH6310; and when it roseH6965 upH6965 againstH5921 me, I grabbedH2388 it by its maneH2206 and struckH5221 it and killedH4191 it.

36Your servantH5650 has 3killedH5221 bothH1571 the lionH738 and the bearH1677; and thisH2088 uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430 will be like oneH259 of them, sinceH3588 he has defiedH2778 the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430.”

37And DavidH1732 saidH559, “4The LordH3068 whoH834 savedH5337 me from the pawH3027 of the lionH738 and the pawH3027 of the bearH1677, He will saveH5337 me from the handH3027 of thisH2088 PhilistineH6430.” So SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “5GoH1980, and may the LordH3068 be with you.”
