The future king of Israel killed lions with a stick. The story David told Saul before fighting Goliath is the back-story of Psalm 23, and the New Testament picks the same metaphor up in the mouth of Jesus.

- Why the shepherd metaphor in the Hebrew Bible is bloody, not sentimental
- A boy with a stick, running after a lion that has a lamb in its mouth
