David replied to Saul: I am a shepherd for my father's sheep. When a lion or a bear comes and carries off a sheep from the flock, I go after it, attack it, and rescue the lamb. If the lion or bear turns on me, I grab it by the throat and beat it to death. read more. I have killed lions and bears. I will do the same to this heathen Philistine. He has defied the army of the living God.

You know your father and his followers are mighty warriors. They are as fierce as a mother bear whose cubs have just been killed. Your father has a lot of experience in fighting wars. He will not spend the night with the others.

Elisha turned around and glared at them. He cursed them in the name of Jehovah. Then two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys to pieces.

Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs then a fool in his foolishness.

Like a roaring lion and a charging bear, so is a wicked ruler over the helpless people.

Also the cow and the bear will graze. Their young will lie down together. And the lion will eat straw like the ox.

Like a bear that has lost her cubs, I will attack you. I will rip you open. Like a lion I will devour you. Like a wild animal I will tear you apart.
