Let no man's heart fail because of him.
Thy servant will go and fight with the Philistine.
(Laughter and derision from his brothers. Smiles from others.)
Saul: Thou art but a youth, and he a man of war.
David: Thy servant kept his father's flocks, and when there came a lion or a bear and took a lamb out of the flock, I went down after it and killed it.
Eliab: O foolish one!
Abinadab: Back to thy sheep!
Shammah: Thou braggart!
