According to 1.Sam.16:18 Saul heard that the boy -David- who came to play for him was a son of Jesse in Bethlehem. We also read that Saul sent messagers to Jesse with the request to sent him his son (verse 19), and in verse 22 we read that Saul told Jesse that he was very pleased with his son, and that Saul asked if the boy could stay with him.

“I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the harp."

Why then did Saul ask whose son David was when he saw him defeat Goliath in 1 Sam.17:55.

"Abner, whose son is this young man?"

How is it that Saul didn’t know?
