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

52 And the men of Israel rose up and shouted, and Judah pursued the Philistines until you come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath and to Ekron.

53 And the sons of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents. 54 And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem. But he put his armor in his tent.

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

56 And the king said, You go ask whose son the young man is.

57 And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul, with the head of the Philistine in his hand. 58 And Saul said to him, Whose son are you, young man? And David answered, I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem.
