1 Samuel 17:52-58 - Israel Routs The Philistines

52 Then arose the men of Israel and Judah, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, as far as the entrance into Gath, and as far as the gates of Ekron, - and the slain of the Philistines fell in the way to the two gates, even as far as Gath and as far as Ekron.

53 And the sons of Israel returned from hotly pursuing the Philistines, - and plundered their camps. 54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it into Jerusalem, - but, his armour, put he into his tent.

55 And, when Saul saw David going forth to meet the Philistine, he said unto Abner, prince of the host, Whose son is the young man, Abner? And Abner said, By the life of thy soul, O king! I know not.

56 Then said the king, - Ask, thou, whose son the stripling is?

57 And, when David returned from smiting the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul, - with the head of the Philistine in his hand. 58 And Saul said unto him, Whose son art, thou, O young man? And David said, Son of thy servant Jesse, the Bethlehemite.
