1 Samuel 17:56 in Context — 1 Samuel 17

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.

57 E quando Davi voltava de matar ao filisteu, Abner o tomou, e levou-o diante de Saul, tendo a cabeça do filisteu em sua mão.

58 E disse-lhe Saul: Rapaz, de quem és filho? E Davi respondeu: Eu sou filho de teu servo Jessé de Belém.
