1 Samuel 17:32-36

32 And David said to Saul, “ ^aMay no one’s heart fail on account of him; ^byour servant will go and fight this Philistine!” 33 But Saul said to David, “ ^cYou are not able to go against this Philistine to fight him; for you are only a youth, while he has been a warrior since his youth.” 34 But 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, 35 I went out after it and ^{▼▼Lit struck}attacked it, and ^erescued the sheep from its mouth; and when it rose up against me, I grabbed it by its mane and struck it and killed it. 36 Your servant has ^{▼▼Lit struck}killed 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.”
