Sirach 47:1 In-Context

1 After him, Nathan rose up to prophesy at the time of David.
2 Just as the fat is separated from the offering of well-being, so David was set apart from the Israelites.
3 He played with lions as if they were young goats, and with bears as if they were lambs from the flock.
4 Didn't he kill a giant in his youth and take away disgrace from the people, when he raised his hand with a stone shot from a sling and struck down the arrogant Goliath?
5 David called upon the Lord Most High, and the Lord gave strength to his strong arm to do away with a mighty warrior, to assert the power of his people.
