1 Samuel 17:55-57

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵⁵ When Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of his army, “Abner, whose son is this young man?” And Abner answered, “As your soul lives, O king, I cannot tell.”

⁵⁶ Then the King said, “Inquire whose son this young man is.”

⁵⁷ And when David had returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, then Abner took him and brought him before Saul, with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
