2 Samuel 1:2-4

International Standard Version

² The next^[a] 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^[b] or have died, and Saul and his son Jonathan are also dead.”
