## 1 Samuel 17:37-39 in Context (Verses 34–42 KJV)
 
 [34 ](/kjv/1-samuel/17/34) And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:*
 
 [35 ](/kjv/1-samuel/17/35) And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered *it* out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught *him* by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
 
 [36 ](/kjv/1-samuel/17/36) Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
 
 [37 ](/kjv/1-samuel/17/37) David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.
 
 [38 ](/kjv/1-samuel/17/38) ¶ And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.*
 
 [39 ](/kjv/1-samuel/17/39) And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved *it*. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved *them*. And David put them off him.
 
 [40 ](/kjv/1-samuel/17/40) And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling *was* in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.**
 
 [41 ](/kjv/1-samuel/17/41) And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield *went* before him.
 
 [42 ](/kjv/1-samuel/17/42) And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was *but* a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.
