'Lions' in the Bible

And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.

And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.

Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
