26 Then David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that overcomes this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should dishonour the armies of the living God?
27 And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that overcomes him.
28 And Eliab, his eldest brother, heard when he spoke unto the men, and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why didst thou come down here? And with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride and the malice of thy heart, for thou art come down that thou might see the battle.
29 And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
30 And he turned from him toward another and spoke after the same manner, and the people answered him again after the former manner.
31 And the words which David had spoken were heard, and they were rehearsed before Saul, and he sent for him.
32 And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy slave will go and fight with this Philistine.
