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.”  ‡

31 Now when the words which David spoke were heard, they reported them to Saul; and he sent for him.
