SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:27

Y el pueblo le respondió las mismas palabras, diciendo: Así se hará al tal varón que lo venciere.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 27. And the people answered him after this manner , etc.] Told him what was proposed to be done in honour to the man that should attempt to kill him, and succeed: saying, so shall it be done to the man that killeth him ; as before related, that he should be enriched, marry the king’s daughter, and his family be ennobled, ( 1 Samuel 17:25).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 12-30 - Jesse little thought of sending his son to the army at that critica juncture; but the wise God orders actions and affairs, so as to serv his designs. In times of general formality and lukewarmness, ever degree of zeal which implies readiness to go further, or to ventur more in the cause of God than others, will be blamed as pride an ambition, and by none more than by near relations, like Eliab, or negligent superiors. It was a trial of David's meekness, patience, an constancy. He had right and reason on his side, and did not rende railing for railing; with a soft answer he turned away his brother' wrath. This conquest of his own passion was more honourable than tha of Goliath. Those who undertake great and public services, must no think it strange if they are spoken ill of, and opposed by those from whom they expect support and assistance. They must humbly go on with their work, in the face not only of enemies' threats, but of friends slights and suspicions.
