34 David replied to Saul, |I am a shepherd for my father's sheep. Whenever a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock,

35 I went after it, struck it, and rescued the sheep from its mouth. If it attacked me, I took hold of its mane, struck it, and killed it.

36 I have killed lions and bears, and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them because he has challenged the army of the living God.|

37 David added, |The LORD, who saved me from the lion and the bear, will save me from this Philistine.| |Go,| Saul told David, |and may the LORD be with you.|
