³⁶ Your servant has killed both the lion^(A) and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God.

⁴⁷ All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword^(A) or spear that the Lord saves;^(B) for the battle^(C) is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”

²⁸ “Please forgive^(A) your servant’s presumption. The Lord your God will certainly make a lasting^(B) dynasty for my lord, because you fight the Lord’s battles,^(C) and no wrongdoing^(D) will be found in you as long as you live.
