29. And David said, What have I done now? Was it not a harmless question?
30. And David turned away from Eliab to another and he asked the same question, and again the men gave him the same answer.
31. When David's words were heard, they were repeated to Saul, and he sent for him.
32. David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of this Philistine; your servant will go out and fight with him.
33. And Saul said to David, You are not able to go to fight against this Philistine. You are only an adolescent, and he has been a warrior from his youth.
34. And David said to Saul, Your servant kept his father's sheep. And when there came a lion or again a bear and took a lamb out of the flock,
35. I went out after it and smote it and delivered the lamb out of its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard and smote it and killed it.
