31 Now the words that David had spoken were heard and reported in the sight of Saul.
32 When he had been led to Saul, he said to him: 'Let no one lose heart over him. I, your servant, shall go and fight against the Philistine.'
33 And Saul said to David: 'You are not able to withstand this Philistine, nor to fight against him. For you are a boy, but he has been a warrior from his boyhood.'
34 And David said to Saul: 'Your servant was pasturing the flock of his father. And there approached a lion or a bear, and it took a ram from the midst of the flock.
35 And I pursued after them, and I struck them, and I rescued from their mouth. And they rose up against me. And I caught them by the throat, and I strangled and killed them.
