2 Samuel 1:3 BBE

¹  Now after the death of Saul, when David, having come back from the destruction of the Amalekites, had been in Ziklag for two days;

²  On the third day a man came from Saul's tents, with his clothing out of order and earth on his head: and when he came to David, he went down on the earth and gave him honour.

³  And David said to him, Where have you come from? And he said, I have come in flight from the tents of Israel.

⁴  And David said to him, How did things go? Give me the news. And in answer he said, The people have gone in flight from the fight, and a great number of them are dead; and Saul and his son Jonathan are dead.

⁵  And David said to the young man who gave him the news, Why are you certain that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?
