26 And David spoke to the men who were standing with him, saying: 'What will be given to the man who will have struck down this Philistine, and who will have taken away the disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should reproach the soldiers of the living God?'
27 Then the people repeated to him the same words, saying, 'These things shall be given to the man who will have struck him down.'
28 Now when Eliab, his eldest brother, had heard this, as he was speaking with the others, he became angry against David, and he said: 'Why did you come here? And why did you leave behind those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the wickedness of your heart, that you have come down so that you might see the battle.'
29 And David said: 'What have I done? Is there any word against me?'
30 And he turned away from him a little, toward another. And he asked the same question. And the people responded to him as before.
