Exegesis
The prepositional infinitive construct bedabro {בְּדַבְּר֖וֹ | bə-ḏabbārô} combined with el-ha-anashim {אֶל־הָאֲנָשִׁ֑ים | ʾel-hā-ʾănāšîm} locates David’s address and prompts Eliab’s reaction.
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.”
