1 Samuel 17:57 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 17:57

And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine,
&c.] Carrying his head in triumph, and no doubt accompanied with the acclamations of the people:

Abner took him and brought him before Saul, with the head of the
Philistine in his hand;
to give an answer to the king's question concerning him, who could best do it himself; and that Saul might have the opportunity of rewarding him, according to his merit, for so great a piece of service he had done for Israel, of which the head in his hand was a sufficient proof.

1 Samuel 17:57 In-Context

55 Al observar a David pelear contra el filisteo, Saúl le preguntó a Abner, el comandante de su ejército:
—Abner, ¿quién es el padre de este muchacho?
—En realidad no lo sé —declaró Abner.

56 —Bueno, ¡averigua quién es! —le dijo el rey.

57 Tan pronto como David regresó de matar a Goliat, Abner lo llevó ante Saúl con la cabeza del filisteo todavía en la mano.

58 —Dime quién es tu padre, muchacho —le dijo Saúl.
—Su nombre es Isaí, y vivimos en Belén —contestó David.
