Verse 58 is found in chapter 17 of 1 Samuel. The Israelite army pursues the Philistines and recovers territory after Goliath’s defeat. Saul asks about David’s family identity, showing that the king still does not fully know the young man who has just produced a decisive victory. The scene concludes David’s transition from an almost unknown shepherd to a public figure. The victory over Goliath will also trigger Saul’s jealousy and the subsequent persecution.
