1 Samuel 17:28-30

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

I know your presumption and the evil of your heart, for you have come down just to see the battle.”^{(A) 29} David said, “What have I done now? It was only a question.”^{(B) 30} He turned away from him toward another and spoke in the same way, and the people answered him again as before.^(C)
