1 Samuel 17:36
35 I would go out after it, strike it down, and rescue the sheep from its mouth. If it rose up against me, I would grab it by its beard*, strike it, and kill it. 36 Your servant has struck down both the lion and the bear. This uncircumcised Philistine will be just like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God.” 37 David went on to say, “The Lord who delivered me from the lion and the bear will also deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” Then Saul said to David, “Go! The Lord will be with you.”
LXX 1 Samuel 17:36
35 I would go out after it and strike it and draw out from its mouth. And if it rose against me, then I held its throat and struck and killed it. 36 And your servant has beat down the bear and the lion, and the uncircumcised foreigner will be like one of these. Will I not go and strike him down and remove today the disgrace from Israel? Because who is this uncircumcised one who scorns the camp of the living God? 37 The Lord who rescued me from the hand of the lion and from the hand of the bear, he will rescue me from the hand of this uncircumcised foreigner.” So Saul said to David, “Go, and may the Lord be with you.”
Notes and References
"... In our analysis of the Masoretic text, we proposed that it was not plausible that the speeches of the characters were the actual words said by these people. This is confirmed by the variations in direct speech between the MT and the Septuagint. There are subtle variations in verses 8, 32, 35–37, 43 and 45–46. Some of these variations can be attributed to the process of translation or transmission. In LXX verse 8, Εβραῖοι can be reconstructed as a translation of םירבﬠ (‘Hebrews’), which could have been corrupted from םידבﬠ (‘servants’), as is found in the MT, or vice versa. Translation of technical military equipment could explain the interchange of LXX ‘shield’ and MT ‘sword’ in verse 45, and this reflects a similar interchange of these words in verse 6. Others are additions or omissions, such as the extra material in LXX verse 36 (‘Shall I not go and smite him and take away today a reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised one . . .’) and verse 43 (‘and stones’) ..."
