NETBible

On the third day a man arrived from the camp of Saul with his clothes torn and dirt on his head.¹ When he approached David, the man² threw himself to the ground.³

NET Notes

¹sn Tearing one’s clothing and throwing dirt on one’s head were outward expressions of grief in the ancient Near East, where such demonstrable reactions were a common response to tragic news.

²tn Heb “he”; the referent (the man mentioned at the beginning of v. 2) has been specified in the translation to avoid confusion as to who fell to the ground.

³tn Heb “he fell to the ground and did obeisance.”
