Our story begins with a ''flashback'' to the time when David went out to fight with Goliath (17:40), and then fast-forwards to David's victory. ''Now when Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner the commander of the army, 'Abner, whose son is this young man?' And Abner said, 'By your life, O king, I do not ...
