1 Samuel 17:54-56
Living Bible
54 (Later David took Goliath’s head to Jerusalem, but stored his armor in his tent.)
55 As Saul was watching David go out to fight Goliath, he asked Abner, the general of his army, “Abner, what sort of family does this young fellow come from?”[a]
“I really don’t know,” Abner said.
56 “Well, find out!” the king told him.

- 1 Samuel 17:55 what sort of family does this young fellow come from? literally, “Whose son is this?” Since David was, if successful, scheduled to marry Saul’s daughter, Saul wanted to know more about his family! The other explanation of this confusing passage is that Saul’s mental condition caused forgetfulness, so that he didn’t recognize David.
