1 Samuel 17:43

David Slays Goliath

42When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him because he was just a boy, ruddy and handsome.43“Am I a dog,” he said to David, “that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.44“Come here,” he called to David, “and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!”
