³³ “No,” answered Saul. “How could you fight him? You're just a boy, and he has been a soldier all his life!”

³⁴ “Your Majesty,” David said, “I take care of my father's sheep. Any time a lion or a bear carries off a lamb, ³⁵ I go after it, attack it, and rescue the lamb. And if the lion or bear turns on me, I grab it by the throat and beat it to death.
