Compare all
26 Then David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, “What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away athe reproach from Israel? For who is this buncircumcised Philistine, that he should cdefy the armies of dthe living God?”  
27 And the people answered him in this manner, saying, a“So shall it be done for the man who kills him.”  
28 Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s aanger was aroused against David, and he said, “Why did you come down here? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the insolence of your heart, for you have come down to see the battle.”  
29 And David said, “What have I done now? aIs there not a cause?”  
30 Then he turned from him toward another and asaid the same thing; and these people answered him as the first ones did.  
31 Now when the words which David spoke were heard, they reported them to Saul; and he sent for him.
32 Then David said to Saul, a“Let no man’s heart fail because of him; byour servant will go and fight with this Philistine.”

1 Samuel 17:28

Why camest thou down? - From the heights of Bethlehem to the valley of Elah.

Thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart - See the similar expression, Jer. 49. Compare the envy of Jacob' s sons toward Joseph, and of the slanders heaped upon the Son of David in the days of His flesh.
