Exegesis

The interrogative mah-yeaseh {מַה־יֵּעָשֶׂה | māh yē-‘ā-seh} ‘what will be done’ opens a question of reward, and the relative clause asher yă-keh et ha-plishti ha-laz {אֲשֶׁר יַכֶּה אֶת־הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי הַלָּז | ’ă-šer yă-keh ’et happə-lîš-tî halāz} ‘who strikes this Philistine’ identifies the deliverer.

In context1 Samuel 17:26

And David said to the men standing with him, “What will be done for the man who strikes down this Philistine and removes disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should taunt the battle lines of the living God ?”
