lion; symbol of strength and fierceness, often in similes for warriors (1 Chr 12:9)
The lion throughout Scripture symbolizes strength, courage, and ferocity. In Chronicles' description of David's elite Gadite warriors, it serves as the ultimate martial comparison. These desert fighters had 'faces like lions,' conveying fearlessness and formidable presence. The image evokes both the predator's power and its untamed nature, appropriate for describing wilderness-hardened soldiers who crossed the Jordan in flood to join David.

1. sense 1 — First Chronicles 12:9 describes David's Gadite warriors: 'Of the Gadites there went over to David at the stronghold in the wilderness mighty and experienced warriors, expert with shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and who were swift as gazelles upon the mountains.' The simile 'like faces of lions' combines with gazelle swiftness to create a portrait of ideal warriors—powerful yet fast, fierce yet agile. This lion imagery became Israel's standard for martial excellence. 1×
