36
Your servant struck both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Pelishti shall be as one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.
37
David said, the LORD who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Pelishti. Sha'ul said to David, Go, and the LORD shall be with you.
38
Sha'ul clad David with his clothing, and he put a helmet of brass on his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail.
39
David girded his sword on his clothing, and he tried to go; for he had not proved it. David said to Sha'ul, I can't go with these; for I have not proved them. David put them off him.

The Pelishti said to David, Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky, and to the animals of the field.

46
This day will the LORD deliver you into my hand; and I will strike you, and take your head from off you; and I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Pelishtim this day to the birds of the sky, and to the wild animals of the eretz; that all the eretz may know that there is a God in Yisra'el,
