Verse 29 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.

David antwortete: Was habe ich dir nun getan? Ist mir's nicht befohlen?
Y David respondió: ¿Qué he hecho yo ahora? Estas, ¿no son palabras?
David respondió: «¿Qué he hecho ahora? ¿No puedo ni hablar?».
David répondit: Qu'ai-je donc fait? ne puis-je pas parler ainsi?
Ma Davide disse: Che cosa ho io ora fatto? queste non sono elleno parole?
Então disse Davi: Que fiz eu agora? Porventura não há razão para isso?
