4. And David said unto him: What is the matter that is come to pass? tell me. He said: The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people are fallen and dead: moreover Saul and Jonathan his son are slain.
5. And David said to the young man that told him: How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son, are dead?
6. And the young man that told him, said: I came by chance upon mount Gelboe, and Saul leaned upon his spear: and the chariots and horsemen drew nigh unto him,
7. And looking behind him, and seeing me, he called me. And I answered, Here am I.
8. And he said to me: Who art thou? And I said to him: I am an Amalecite.
