8 And Huʹshai went on to say: “You yourself well know your father and the men of his, that they are mighty,+ and they are bitter of soul,+ like a female bear that has lost her cubs in the field;+ and your father is a warrior,+ and he will not spend the night with the people.

24 Finally he turned behind him and saw them and called down evil+ upon them in the name of Jehovah. Then two she-bears+ came out from the woods and went tearing to pieces forty-two children of their number.+

8 I shall encounter them like a bear that has lost its cubs,+ and I shall rip apart the enclosure of their heart. And I shall devour them there like a lion;+ a wild beast of the field itself will tear them to pieces.+
