1 Samuel 17:33-35

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³³ But Saul replied, “You can’t go fight this Philistine. You’re just a youth, and he’s been a warrior since he was young.”

³⁴ David answered Saul: “Your servant has been tending his father’s sheep. Whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a lamb from the flock, ³⁵ I went after it, struck it down, and rescued the lamb from its mouth.^(A) If it reared up against me, I would grab it by its fur,^[a] strike it down, and kill it.
