2 Samuel 1:1-4 ▼

1 Shortly after Saul had died, David returned from defeating the Amalekites and remained in Ziklag for two days.

2 The next day, a man escaped from Saul's camp! With torn clothes and dirty hair, he approached David, fell to the ground, and bowed down to him.

3 David asked him, |Where did you come from? He answered him, |I just escaped from Israel's encampment.|

4 David continued questioning him, |How did things go? Please tell me!| He replied, |The army has fled the battlefield, many of the army are wounded or have died, and Saul and his son Jonathan are also dead.|
