1. After Saul died, David returned to Ziklag. He had won the battle over the Amalekites. He stayed in Ziklag for two days.
2. On the third day a man arrived from Saul's camp. His clothes were torn. He had dust on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the ground to show him respect.
3. "Where have you come from?" David asked him. He answered, "I've escaped from Israel's camp."
4. "What happened?" David asked. "Tell me." He said, "Israel's men ran away from the battle. Many of them were killed. Saul and his son Jonathan are dead."
5. David spoke to the young man who brought him the report. He asked him, "How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?"
