Verse 27 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.

Da sagte ihm das Volk wie vorhin: So wird man tun dem, der ihn schlägt.
Y el pueblo le respondió las mismas palabras, diciendo: Así se hará al hombre que lo venciere.
El pueblo le respondió con las mismas palabras: «Eso es lo que se hará por el hombre que lo mate».
Le peuple, répétant les mêmes choses, lui dit: C'est ainsi que l'on fera à celui qui le tuera.
E la gente gli disse quelle stesse cose, dicendo: Così si farà a quell’uomo che l’avrà percosso.
E o povo lhe tornou a falar conforme àquela palavra dizendo: Assim farão ao homem que o ferir.
百姓照同樣的話對他說:「若有人殺了那人,必這樣待他。」
