1 Samuel 17:29-33 Common English Bible (CEB)

29. "What did I do wrong this time?" David replied. "It was just a question!"

30. So David turned to someone else and asked the same thing, and the people said the same thing in reply.

31. The things David had said were overheard and reported to Saul, who sent for him.

32. "Don’t let anyone lose courage because of this Philistine!" David told Saul. "I, your servant, will go out and fight him!"

33. "You can’t go out and fight this Philistine," Saul answered David. "You are still a boy. But he’s been a warrior since he was a boy!"
