1 Samuel 17:28 in Context — 1 Samuel 17
26 Entonces habló David á los que junto á él estaban, diciendo: ¿Qué harán al hombre que venciere á este Filisteo, y quitare el oprobio de Israel? Porque ¿quién es este Filisteo incircunciso, para que provoque á los escuadrones del Dios viviente?
27 Y el pueblo le respondió las mismas palabras, diciendo: Así se hará al hombre que lo venciere.
28 Y oyéndole hablar Eliab su hermano mayor con aquellos hombres, Eliab se encendió en ira contra David, y dijo: ¿Para qué has descendido acá? ¿y á quién has dejado aquellas pocas ovejas en el desierto? Yo conozco tu soberbia y la malicia de tu corazón, que para ver la batalla has venido.
29 Y David respondió: ¿Qué he hecho yo ahora? Estas, ¿no son palabras?
30 Y apartándose de él hacia otros, habló lo mismo; y respondiéronle los del pueblo como primero.
