24. And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were greatly afraid.
25. And the men of Israel said, Have you seen this man that has come up? surely to defy Israel has he come up: and it shall be, that the man who kills him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.
26. And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that kills this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy 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 kills 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 came you down here? and with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride, and the insolence of your heart; for you are come down that you might see the battle.
29. And David said, What have I now done? Is it not a word?
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 when the words were heard which David spoke, they repeated them before Saul: and he sent for him.
