Sirach 47:2-4

Common English Bible

² Just as the fat is separated
from the offering of well-being,
    so David was set apart
    from the Israelites.
³ He played with lions
as if they were young goats,
    and with bears
    as if they were lambs from the flock.
⁴ Didn’t he kill a giant in his youth
        and take away disgrace from the people,
    when he raised his hand with a stone shot from a sling
        and struck down
        the arrogant Goliath?
