Answered in 1 source

The Bible depicts David as a shepherd, symbolizing Christ as the Good Shepherd.

In the Scriptures, David is portrayed as a shepherd who fiercely protects his flock, illustrating his character and role as a leader. When he was just a boy, he fought off lions and bears to save his sheep (1 Samuel 17:34-37), demonstrating his dedication and love. This foreshadows the Lord Jesus Christ, who is described in John 10 as the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep, highlighting the sacrificial nature of His leadership.
