52 And the men of Israel and Judah, rising up, shouted and pursued after the Philistines, even until they arrived at the valley and as far as the gates of Ekron. And many wounded among the Philistines fell on the way of Shaaraim, and as far as Gath, and as far as Ekron.
53 And the sons of Israel, returning after they had pursued the Philistines, invaded their camp.
54 Then David, taking up the head of the Philistine, brought it to Jerusalem. Yet truly, he placed his armor in his own tent.
55 Now at the time that Saul had seen David going out against the Philistines, he said to Abner, the leader of the military, 'From what stock is this youth descended, Abner?' And Abner said, 'As your soul lives, O king, I do not know.'
56 And the king said, 'You shall inquire as to whose son this boy may be.'
