1. NOW AFTER the death of Saul, when David returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, he had stayed two days in Ziklag,
2. When on the third day a man came from Saul's camp with his clothes torn and dust on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the ground and did obeisance.
3. David said to him, Where have you come from? He said, I have escaped from the camp of Israel.
4. David said to him, How did it go? Tell me. He answered, The men have fled from the battle. Many have fallen and are dead; Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
5. David said to the young man, How do you know Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
