2 Samuel 1

¹ After the death of Saul, David returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites and stayed in Ziklag two days.

² On the third day a man with torn clothes and dust on his head arrived from Saul’s camp. When he came to David, he fell to the ground to pay him homage.

³ “Where have you come from?” David asked. “I have escaped from the Israelite camp,” he replied.

⁴ “What was the outcome?” David asked. “Please tell me.” “The troops fled from the battle,” he replied. “Many of them fell and died. And Saul and his son Jonathan are also dead.”
