When the messengers went to Gibeah (where Saul lived) and informed the people of these matters, all the people wept loudly.

Then David and the men who were with him wept loudly until they could weep no more.

When the servant had left, David got up from beside the mound, knelt with his face to the ground, and bowed three times. Then they kissed each other and they both wept, especially David.
