1 Samuel 17:26-28

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁶ David asked the men who were standing near him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and gets rid of Israel’s disgrace? Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should challenge the army of the living God?”

²⁷ The soldiers repeated ⌞to David⌟ how the man who kills Goliath would be treated.

²⁸ Eliab, David’s oldest brother, heard David talking to the men. Then Eliab became angry with David. “Why did you come here,” he asked him, “and with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know how overconfident and headstrong you are. You came here just to see the battle.”
