1 Samuel 17:36-38

New International Reader's Version

³⁶ In fact, I’ve killed both a lion and a bear. I’ll do the same thing to this Philistine. He isn’t even circumcised. He has dared the armies of the living God to fight him. ³⁷ The Lord saved me from the paw of the lion. He saved me from the paw of the bear. And he’ll save me from the powerful hand of this Philistine too.”

Saul said to David, “Go. And may the Lord be with you.”

³⁸ Then Saul dressed David in his own military clothes. He put a coat of armor on him. He put a bronze helmet on his head.
