1 Samuel 17:34-37

34 But 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, 35 I went out after him and ^{▼▼ Lit smote}attacked him, and ^brescued it from his mouth; and when he rose up against me, I seized him by his beard and ^{▼▼ Lit smote}struck him and killed him. 36 “Your servant has ^{▼▼ Lit smitten}killed 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.” 37 And David said, ^e“The 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, ^f“Go, and may the Lord be with you.”
