Now, that sounds like a warrior to me, but David seemed to be pretty sure this was just a normal part of being a servant. He explained further, “Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. The LORD who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.”47 David had one posture: servanthood. Because he saw himself as a servant, he was a shepherd like no one had ever known.
