Title: Discern who my fight is with. Verse: [1 Sam.17:28] And when Eliab his brother heard the words which David spake unto the people, he was wroth with David, and said unto him, Why hast thou come down hither, and to whom hast thou committed the sheep that are in the field? For I know thy pride, and the hardness of thine heart: thou art come to see war. Discovery: David, in obedience to his father's word, had come to his brothers, who were at war with the Philistines, and he was angry at the Philistines for insulting God.
