And Sha’ul said to Dawiḏ, “You are not able to go against this Pelishtite to fight with him, for you are but a youth, and he a man of battle from his youth.” Then Dawiḏ said to Sha’ul, “Your servant has been tending sheep for his father, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, I went out after it and smote it, and rescued from its mouth. And when it rose against me, I took hold of its beard, and smote it and killed it. “Your servant has smitten both lion and bear. And this uncircumcised Pelishtite shall be like one of them, seeing he has reproached the armies of the living Elohim.” And Dawiḏ said, “YHWH, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He delivers me from the hand of this Pelishtite.” And Sha’ul said to Dawiḏ, “Go, and YHWH be with you!”
