David kämpft gegen einen Bären

David, shown as a young shepherd in the open pasture, faces a threatening bear while frightened sheep lie in the grass nearby. The shepherd’s sling is shown beside the scene, pointing to the courage and skill God developed in David before his public victory over Goliath. In 1 Samuel 17, David explains to Saul that while keeping his father’s flock he struck down both lion and bear when they came against the sheep. This artwork emphasizes David’s faithful stewardship in hidden places: before he stood before a giant, he learned to trust the Lord while protecting the vulnerable. The scene is well suited for teaching children about courage, pastoral care, preparation, and God’s deliverance through a faithful servant.
