At nang makita ni Saul si David na lumalabas laban sa Filisteo, kaniyang sinabi kay Abner, na kapitan ng hukbo, Abner, kaninong anak ang batang ito? At sinabi ni Abner, Buhay ang iyong kaluluwa, Oh hari, hindi ko masabi.
And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.
