55As Saul had watched David going out to confront the Philistine, he said to Abner the commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is this young man?” “As surely as you live, O king,” Abner replied, “I do not know.”

57So when David returned from killing the Philistine, still holding his head in his hand, Abner took him and brought him before Saul.
