1 Samuel 17:29-36 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

29. And David said, What have I now done? Was it not laid upon me?

30. And he turned from him to another, and spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him again after the former manner.

31. And the words were heard which David spoke, and they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him.

32. And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him: thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.

33. And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.

34. And David said to Saul, Thy servant fed his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and also a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock.

35. And I went after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth; and when he arose against me, I seized him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.

36. Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God
