[more reasons why I like this analogy]
4) Pawns are attackers. Pawns attack other pawns and pieces on (forward) diagonals; “'Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine'” (1 Samuel 17:34-37).
5) Pawns are defenders. Pawns defend by not allowing enemy pieces to occupy squares and by standing between a more powerful piece or the king and enemy attacks; “… and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked…” (Nehemiah 4:18).
6) Pawns stay in their file until they see action of taking a piece; “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it’” (Isaiah 30:21).
7) Pawns never stand on the back rank; “Go ye therefore…” (Matthew 28:19-20).
