³⁷ And David said, “Yahweh, who rescued me from the hand of the lion and from the hand of the bear, will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine!” Then Saul said to David, “Go and may Yahweh be with you!” ³⁸ Then Saul clothed David with his own fighting attire and put a helmet of bronze on his head and clothed him with body armor.
