2 Samuel 1:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

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.
