1 Samuel 17:29
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
“What have I done now?” said David. “Was it not just a question?”
In context
27 The people told him about the offer, saying, “That is what will be done for the man who kills him.”
28 Now when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking to the men, his anger burned against David. “Why have you come down here?” he asked. “And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and wickedness of heart—you have come down to see the battle!”
29 “What have I done now?” said David. “Was it not just a question?”
30 Then he turned from him toward another and asked about the offer, and those people answered him just as the first ones had answered.
31 Now David’s words were overheard and reported to Saul, who called for him.
