1 Samuel 17:27-33 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

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.

32. And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.

33. And Saul said to David, you are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
