Psalm 91:13 promises treading on lion and serpent — echoing David's literal victory over a lion, now as a sign of divine protection.

2 Timothy 4:17 says Paul was delivered from the lion's mouth — directly alluding to David's literal rescue from a lion.

Job 29:17 describes breaking the fangs of the wicked — mirroring David's rescue of prey from a predator's mouth.

Zechariah 11:16 describes a bad shepherd who neglects and devours the flock — the opposite of David's protective rescue here.

John 10:11 presents Jesus as the Good Shepherd who gives His life — David's risking his life for the lamb prefigures Christ's sacrifice.

In Ezekiel 34:12, God as Shepherd seeks and delivers His scattered sheep — mirroring David's rescue of the lamb from the lion's mouth.

Amos 3:12 uses the same shepherd-rescuing-from-lion imagery, illustrating God's partial deliverance of Israel.
