1 Samuel 17:52-58 ▼

52 And the men of Israel rise—also Judah—and shout, and pursue the Philistines until you enter the valley, and to the gates of Ekron, and the wounded of the Philistines fall in the way of Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron,

53 and the sons of Israel return from burning after the Philistines, and spoil their camps.

54 And David takes the head of the Philistine, and brings it to Jerusalem, and he has put his weapons in his own tent.

55 And when Saul sees David going out to meet the Philistine, he has said to Abner, head of the host, “Whose son [is] this—the youth, Abner?” And Abner says, “Your soul lives, O king, I have not known.”

56 And the king says, “Ask whose son this [is]—the young man.”

57 And when David turns back from striking the Philistine, then Abner takes him and brings him in before Saul, and the head of the Philistine [is] in his hand;

58 and Saul says to him, “Whose son [are] you, O youth?” And David says, “Son of your servant Jesse, the Beth-Lehemite.”
