And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them.

Verse 23 is found in chapter 17 of 1 Samuel. David arrives at the camp, sent by his father to bring provisions to his brothers. Upon hearing Goliath’s challenge, he is astonished that a Philistine can challenge the army of the living God. His brother Eliab interprets his presence negatively, but David remains concerned about the offense against God. The contrast is fundamental: David does not begin by thinking about his own glory, but about the Lord’s honor. The theological motivation precedes his military action.
