1 Samuel 17:53-58 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

53. And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they pillaged their camps.

54. And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.

55. And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this young man? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.

56. And the king said, Inquire thou whose son this youth 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, young man? And David said, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.
