Saul asks whose son the youth is, and David answers
소년이 누구의 아들인지 묻는 사울과 다윗의 대답
1 Samuel 17:55–58: when Saul sees David go out against the Philistine, he says to Abner, the captain of the army, “Abner, whose son is this youth?” Abner says, “As your soul lives, O king, I can’t tell.” The king says, “Inquire whose son the young man is!” As David returns from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner takes him and brings him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand. Saul says to him, “Whose son are you, you young man?” David answers, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.” The Korean Revised Version reads 나는 주의 종 베들레헴 사람 이새의 아들이니이다 at 17:58.
