29 David répondit: Qu’ai-je donc fait? Ne puis-je pas parler ainsi?

30 Et il se détourna de lui pour s’adresser à un autre, et fit les mêmes questions. Le peuple lui répondit comme la première fois.

31 Lorsqu’on eut entendu les paroles prononcées par David, on les répéta devant Saül, qui le fit chercher.

32 David dit à Saül: Que personne ne se décourage à cause de ce Philistin! Ton serviteur ira se battre avec lui.

33 Saül dit à David: Tu ne peux pas aller te battre avec ce Philistin, car tu es un enfant, et il est un homme de guerre dès sa jeunesse.
