1 Samuel 17:27-29

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁷ The people answered him in the same way, “So shall it be done for the man who kills him.”

²⁸ His eldest brother Eliab heard him talking to the men; and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David. He said, “Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your presumption and the evil of your heart; for you have come down just to see the battle.” ²⁹ David said, “What have I done now? It was only a question.”
