Shmuel Alef 17:29-31

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁹ And Dovid said, What have I done now? It was only a davar (word) [I said], wasn’t it?

³⁰ And he turned from him toward another, and spoke after the same manner; and HaAm answered him again according to the davar harishon (the previous word).

³¹ And when the devarim (words) were heard which Dovid spoke, they rehearsed them before Sha’ul: and he sent for him.
