1 Samuel 17:53-55

New International Reader's Version

⁵³ Israel’s army returned from chasing the Philistines. They had taken everything from the Philistine camp.

⁵⁴ David picked up Goliath’s head. He brought it to Jerusalem. He put Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.

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.”
