AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Samuel 17:55 ¶ When Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner the captain of the army, "Abner, whose son is this young man?" And Abner answered, "By your life, O king, I do not know." |
Bible Question: Why is it in I Samuel 17:55-58 Saul doesn't know David, when in the chapter before (Chapter 16:14-23)David plays the harp for Saul and is one of his armour bearers? |
Bible Answer: Saul did not ask: "Who is this?", as if he didn't know David. What he asked was: "Whose son is this youth?" He was asking for the name of David's father, not for David's name. |
