And Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a man of valor from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. He struck down two champions of Moab, and on a snowy day he went down into a pit and killed a lion.

David added, “The LORD, who delivered me from the claws of the lion and the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.”“Go,” said Saul, “and may the LORD be with you.”

Concerning Dan he said:“Dan is a lion’s cub,leaping out of Bashan.”

For this is what the LORD has said to me:“Like a lion roaringor a young lion over its prey—and though a band of shepherds is called out against it,it is not terrified by their shoutingor subdued by their clamor—so the LORD of Hosts will come downto do battle on Mount Zion and its heights.

Therefore a lion from the forest will strike them down,a wolf from the desert will ravage them.A leopard will lie in wait near their cities,and everyone who ventures out will be torn to pieces.For their rebellious acts are many,and their unfaithful deeds are numerous.
