Exegesis
The interrogative lamah-ze yaradta {לָמָּה־זֶּה יָרַדְתָּ | lāmmāh-zēh yāraḏtā} uses a demonstrative-interrogative compound to challenge David.
In context — 1 Samuel 17:28
Eliab heard him speaking to the men, and his anger burned against David. He said, “Why have you come down here? With whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness ? I know your presumption and the evil of your heart; you came down only to see the battle.”
