Clarke's 1-samuel 17:35 Bible Commentary

The slaying of the lion and the bear mentioned here, must have taken place at two different times; perhaps the verse should be read thus: I went out after him, (the lion). and smote him, etc. And when he (the bear) rose up against me, I caught him by the beard and slew him.

Barnes's 1-samuel 17:35 Bible Commentary

His beard - Put here for his throat, or under jaw; neither lion nor bear has a beard properly speaking.
