Context
17:50 David prevailed over the Philistine with just the sling and the stone . He struck down the Philistine and killed him. David did not even have a sword in his hand .
17:51 David ran and stood over the Philistine . He grabbed Goliath’s sword , drew it from its sheath , killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw their champion was dead , they ran away .
17:52 Then the men of Israel and Judah charged forward , shouting a battle cry. They chased the Philistines to the valley and to the very gates of Ekron . The Philistine corpses lay fallen along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron .
17:53 When the Israelites returned from their hot pursuit of the Philistines , they looted their camp .
17:54 David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem , and he put Goliath’s weapons in his tent .
17:55 Now as Saul watched David going out to fight the Philistine , he asked Abner , the general in command of the army , “Whose son is this young man , Abner ?” Abner replied , “As surely as you live , O king , I don’t know .”
17:56 The king said , “Find out whose son this boy is!”
17:57 So when David returned from striking down the Philistine , Abner took him and brought him before Saul . He still had the head of the Philistine in his hand .
17:58 Saul said to him, “Whose son are you , young man ?” David replied , “I am the son of your servant Jesse in Bethlehem .”
