The king said, *Inquire whose son the young man is!*
Sha'ul said to David, You are not able to go against this Pelishti to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
When Sha'ul saw David go forth against the Pelishti, he said to Aviner, the captain of the army, Aviner, whose son is this youth? Aviner said, As your soul lives, O king, I can't tell.
As David returned from the slaughter of the Pelishti, Aviner took him, and brought him before Sha'ul with the head of the Pelishti in his hand.
