1 Samuel 17:26-28
International Children’s Bible
26 David asked the men who stood near him, “What will be done to reward the man who kills this Philistine? What will be done for whoever takes away the shame from Israel? Goliath is a Philistine. He is not circumcised. Why does he think he can speak against the armies of the living God?”
27 The Israelites told David what they had been saying. They said, “This is what will be done for the man who kills Goliath.”
28 David’s oldest brother Eliab heard David talking with the soldiers. He became angry with David. He asked David, “Why did you come here? Who’s taking care of those few sheep of yours in the desert? I know you are proud. Your attitude is very bad. You came down here just to watch the battle!”

1 Samuel 17:26-28
New International Version
26 David asked the men standing near him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace(A) from Israel? Who is this uncircumcised(B) Philistine that he should defy(C) the armies of the living(D) God?”
27 They repeated to him what they had been saying and told him, “This is what will be done for the man who kills him.”
28 When Eliab, David’s oldest brother, heard him speaking with the men, he burned with anger(E) at him and asked, “Why have you come down here? And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is; you came down only to watch the battle.”
