Eliab:
Nay, lord king,
For we be men and warriors;
But David is a little shepherd lad.
Saul: But shepherd lads must needs defend their flocks.
(The Attendant enters with David.)
Saul: How now, returned so soon?
Attendant:
I met him, lord.
He came but now to see his brothers there. (Nods toward them.)
Eliab (angrily):
What do you here?
And why art thou come down?
And with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness?
I know thy pride and the naughtiness of thine heart;
Thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
