1 Samuel 17:52-58 ▼

52 And the men of Israel and Judah arose, and they shouted and pursued the Philistines as far as the entrance of Gath and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell along the road to Shaaraim, and to Gath, and to Ekron.

53 And the sons of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camps.

54 And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem. And he put his weapons in his tent.

55 And Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, and he said to Abner the commander of the army, “The son of whom is this youth, Abner?” And Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, if I know.”

56 And the king said, “Inquire you, the son of whom this is—the young man.”

57 And David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, and Abner took him and brought him before the face of Saul, and the head of the Philistine was in his hand.

58 And Saul said to him, “The son of whom are you, O young man?” And David answered, “The son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”
