52 The soldiers from Israel and Judah jumped up with a shout and chased the Philistines all the way to Gath and the gates of Ekron. The dead Philistines were littered along the Shaarim road all the way to Gath and Ekron.
53 When the Israelites came back from chasing the Philistines, they plundered their camp.
54 David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put the Philistine’s weapons in his own tent.
55 Now when Saul saw David go out to meet the Philistine, he asked Abner the army general, "Abner, whose son is that boy?""As surely as you live, Your Majesty, I don’t know," Abner answered.
56 "Then find out whose son that young man is," the king replied.
57 So when David came back from killing the Philistine, Abner sent for him and presented him to Saul. The Philistine’s head was still in David’s hand.
58 Saul said to him, "Whose son are you, my boy?""I’m the son of your servant Jesse from Bethlehem," David answered.
