Before Saul, David says he will go and fight the Philistine

사울 앞에서 블레셋 사람과 싸우겠다고 고한 다윗

1 Samuel 17:31–37: when the words are heard which David spoke, they rehearse them before Saul; and he sends for him. David says to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him. Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.” Saul says to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.” David says to Saul, “Your servant was keeping his father’s sheep; and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, I went out after him, struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, struck him, and killed him. Your servant struck both the lion and the bear. This uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, since he has defied the armies of the living God.” David says, “The LORD, who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear, will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.” Saul says to David, “Go! The LORD will be with you.” The Korean Revised Version gives Saul’s words at 17:37 as a wish (여호와께서 너와 함께 계시기를 원하노라).
