26. David asked the men who were near him, “What will the man get who kills this Philistine and frees Israel from this disgrace? After all, who is this heathen Philistine to defy the army of the living God?”
27. They told him what would be done for the man who killed Goliath.
28. Eliab, David's eldest brother, heard David talking to the men. He was angry with David and said, “What are you doing here? Who is taking care of those sheep of yours out there in the wilderness? You cheeky brat, you! You just came to watch the fighting!”
29. “Now what have I done?” David asked. “Can't I even ask a question?”
30. He turned to another man and asked him the same question, and every time he asked, he got the same answer.
31. Some men heard what David had said, and they told Saul, who sent for him.
