1 Samuel 17:55-58 ▼

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.”
