“And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.”
“And he turned away from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner. ”
“He turned away from him toward another, and spoke like that again; and the people answered him again the same way.”
“Then he turned from those who were nearby to someone else and asked the same question, but they gave him the same answer as before.”
“And he turned a little aside from him to another: and said the same word. And the people answered him as before.”
“And turning away from him to one of the other men, he said the same words: and the people gave him the same answer.”
“And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.”
Then the people repeated to him the same words, saying, “These things shall be given to the man who will have struck him down.”
Now when Eliab, his eldest brother, had heard this, as he was speaking with the others, he became angry against David, and he said: “Why did you come here? And why did you leave behind those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the wickedness of your heart, that you have come down so that you might see the battle.”
And David said: “What have I done? Is there any word against me?”
And he turned away from him a little, toward another. And he asked the same question. And the people responded to him as before.
Now the words that David had spoken were heard and reported in the sight of Saul.
When he had been led to Saul, he said to him: “Let no one lose heart over him. I, your servant, shall go and fight against the Philistine.”
And Saul said to David: “You are not able to withstand this Philistine, nor to fight against him. For you are a boy, but he has been a warrior from his boyhood.”
