24 When all the men of Israel saw the man, they fled from his presence and were very afraid.
25 And the men of Israel said, “Did you see this man who has come up? For he is going up to defy Israel! It will be that the man who defeats him, the king will make him very rich with great wealth and will give him his daughter in marriage and will make his father’s house free in Israel.”
26 Now David had spoken to the men who were standing with him, saying, “What will be done for the man who defeats this Philistine and removes the disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he defies the battle lines of the living God?”
27 And the troops had spoken to him according to this word, saying, “So it will be done for the man who defeats him.”
28 His oldest brother Eliab heard while he was speaking to the men, and Eliab became very angry against David and said, “Why have you come down today, and with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your presumptuousness and the evil of your heart! For you have come down in order to see the battle!”
29 David replied, “What have I done now? I merely asked a question!
30 He turned around from him to another opposite him and he spoke to him in the same way, and the people answered him as before.
