And Saul said unto David, Go, and the Lord be with thee.2 Samuel 17:8For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.2 Kings 2:24And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.Proverbs 17:12Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.Proverbs 28:15As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.Isaiah 11:7And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.Isaiah 59:11We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.Lamentations 3:10He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.
