1 Samuel 17:55-58

[55] And when Saul  saw  David  go forth  the Philistine,  he said  unto Abner,  the captain  of the host,  Abner,  whose son  is this youth?  And Abner  said,  As thy soul  liveth,  O king,  I cannot  tell.  [56] And the king  said,  Enquire  thou whose son  the stripling  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  art thou, thou young man?  And David  answered,  I am the son  of thy servant  Jesse  the Bethlehemite.
