33. Saul answered, “You can’t go out against this Philistine and fight him. You’re only a boy. Goliath has been a warrior since he was a young man.”
34. But David said to Saul, “I, your servant, have been keeping my father’s sheep. When a lion or bear came and took a sheep from the flock,
35. I would chase it. I would attack it and save the sheep from its mouth. When it attacked me, I caught it by its fur and hit it and killed it.
36. I, your servant, have killed both a lion and a bear! This uncircumcised Philistine will be like them, because he has spoken against the armies of the living God.
37. The Lord who saved me from a lion and a bear will save me from this Philistine.”Saul said to David, “Go, and may the Lord be with you.”
38. Saul put his own clothes on David. He put a bronze helmet on his head and dressed him in armor.
