1 Samuel 17:36-39

Living Bible

³⁶ I have done this to both lions and bears, and I’ll do it to this heathen Philistine too, for he has defied the armies of the living God! ³⁷ The Lord who saved me from the claws and teeth of the lion and the bear will save me from this Philistine!”

Saul finally consented, “All right, go ahead,” he said, “and may the Lord be with you!”

^38-39 Then Saul gave David his own armor—a bronze helmet and a coat of mail. David put it on, strapped the sword over it, and took a step or two to see what it was like, for he had never worn such things before. “I can hardly move!” he exclaimed, and took them off again.
