Ben Sira 47:4 In-Context

2 As the choice fat portion of the fellowship offering is reserved for the Lord, so David was chosen from among the Israelites.

3 He played with lions and bears as if they were lambs or little goats.

4 When he was still a boy, he killed a giant to rescue his people. He put a stone in his sling, took aim, and put an end to Goliath's bragging.

5 He prayed to the Lord, the Most High, and was given the strength to kill that famous soldier, so that the nations would have respect for the power of his people.

6 The people honored him for killing his tens of thousands, and when he was crowned king, they praised him for being chosen by the Lord.
