1 And it will be after the death of Saul, and David turned back from striking Amalek, and David sat down two days in Ziklag.

2 And it will be in the third day, and behold, a man came from the camp from Saul, and his garments rent and dust upon his head: and it will be in his coming to David and he will fall to the earth and worship him.

3 And David will say to him, From whence wilt thou come? and he will say to him, From the camp of Israel I escaped.

4 And David will say to him, What was the word? announce now to me. And he will say that the people fled from the battle, and also many fell from the people, and they will die and also Saul and Jonathan his son died.
