1 Samuel 17:55-57

New International Reader's Version

⁵⁵ Saul had been watching David as he went out to meet the Philistine. He spoke to Abner, the commander of the army. Saul said to him, “Abner, whose son is that young man?”

Abner replied, “Your Majesty, I don’t know. And that’s just as sure as you are alive.”

⁵⁶ The king said, “Find out whose son that young man is.”

⁵⁷ After David killed Goliath, he returned to the camp. Then Abner brought him to Saul. David was still carrying Goliath’s head.
