1 Samuel 17:26-28

New English Translation

²⁶ David asked the men who were standing near him, “What will be done for the man who strikes down this Philistine and frees Israel from this humiliation?^[a] For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he defies the armies of the living God?” ²⁷ The soldiers^[b] told him what had been promised, saying,^[c] “This is what will be done for the man who can strike him down.”

²⁸ When David’s^[d] oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking to the men, he became angry^[e] with David and said, “Why have you come down here? To whom did you entrust those few sheep in the wilderness? I am familiar with your pride and deceit!^[f] You have come down here to watch the battle.”
