Opening of 2 Samuel
1 And it came to pass after Saul was dead, that David returned from smiting Amalec, and David abode two days in Sekelac.
2 And it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came from the camp, from the people of Saul, and his garments were rent, and earth was upon his head: and it came to pass when he went in to David, that he fell upon the earth, and did obeisance to him.
3 And David said to him, Whence comest thou? and he said to him, I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.
4 And David said to him, What is the matter? tell me. And he said, The people fled out of the battle, and many of the people have fallen and are dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.
5 And David said to the young man who brought him the tidings, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
6 And the young man that brought the tidings, said to him, I happened accidentally to be upon mount Gelbue; and, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear, and, behold, the chariots and captains of horse pressed hard upon him.
