53 Tornando logo os filhos de Israel de perseguir os filisteus, despojaram seu acampamento.
54 E Davi tomou a cabeça do filisteu, e trouxe-a a Jerusalém, mas pôs suas armas em sua tenda.
55 E quando Saul viu a Davi que saía a encontrar-se com o filisteu, disse a Abner general do exército: Abner, de quem é filho aquele rapaz? E Abner respondeu:
56 Vive tua alma, ó rei, que não o sei. E o rei disse: Pergunta, pois, de quem é filho aquele rapaz.
