1 Samuel 17:34-37
34But David said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep sheep for his father. And when there came a lion, or a bear, and took a lamb from the flock, 35I went after him and struck him and delivered it out of his mouth. And if he arose against me, I caught him by his beard and struck him and killed him. 36Your servant has struck down both lions and bears, and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be like one of them, afor he has defied the armies of the living God.” 37And David said, b“The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, cand the Lord be with you!”2 Kings 2:24
24And he turned around, and when he saw them, dhe cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys.Proverbs 17:12
12Let a man meet ea she-bear robbed of her cubsfrather than a fool in his folly.
Proverbs 28:15
15Like ga roaring lion or ha charging bearis ia wicked ruler over a poor people.
Daniel 7:4-5
4The first was like a lion and had eagles’ wings. Then as I looked its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man, and the mind of a man was given to it. 5And behold, janother beast, a second one, like a bear. It was raised up on one side. It had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and it was told, ‘Arise, devour much flesh.’Hosea 13:8
8I will fall upon them klike a bear robbed of her cubs;I will tear open their breast,
and there I will devour them like a lion,
las a wild beast would rip them open.
Amos 5:19
19 mas if a man fled from a lion,and a bear met him,
or went into the house and leaned his hand against the wall,
and a serpent bit him.
