2 Samuel 1:2-5
1:2 On the third day a man arrived from the camp of Saul with his clothes torn and dirt on his head.
When he approached David, the man
threw himself to the ground.
1:3 David asked him, “Where are you coming from?” He replied, “I have escaped from the camp of Israel.”
1:4 David inquired, “How were things going? Tell me!” He replied, “The people fled from the battle and many of them fell dead. Even Saul and his son Jonathan are dead!”
1:5 David said to the young man who was telling him this, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
