1 Samuel 17:28

28 When David's oldest brother Eliab heard him talking to the soldiers, he got very mad at David. "Why did you come down here?" he said. "Who is watching those few sheep for you in the wilderness? I know how arrogant you are and your devious plan: you came down just to see the battle!"

1 Samuel 17:28 In-Context

26 David asked the soldiers standing by him, "What will be done for the person who kills that Philistine over there and removes this insult from Israel? Who is that uncircumcised Philistine, anyway, that he can get away with insulting the army of the living God?"
27 Then the troops repeated to him what they had been saying. "So that's what will be done for the man who kills him," they said.
28 When David's oldest brother Eliab heard him talking to the soldiers, he got very mad at David. "Why did you come down here?" he said. "Who is watching those few sheep for you in the wilderness? I know how arrogant you are and your devious plan: you came down just to see the battle!"
29 "What did I do wrong this time?" David replied. "It was just a question!"
30 So David turned to someone else and asked the same thing, and the people said the same thing in reply.
