1 Samuel 17:32-36 — Legacy Standard Bible

³²And David said to Saul, “^aLet no man’s heart fail on account of him; ^byour servant will go and fight with this Philistine.” ³³Then Saul said to David, “^aYou are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth while he has been a warrior from his youth.” ³⁴But David said to Saul, “Your servant was shepherding his father’s sheep. And a lion and a bear would come and take a lamb from the flock, ³⁵and I would go out after it and strike it and ^arescue the lamb from its mouth. Then it rose up against me, and I would seize it by its beard and strike it down and put it to death. ³⁶“Your servant has struck down both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, since he has ¹reproached the battle lines of the living God.”
