2 Three days later, a soldier came from Saul’s army. His clothes were torn, and dirt was on his head. [1] He went to David and knelt down in front of him.

3 David asked, “Where did you come from?” The man answered, “From Israel’s army. I barely escaped with my life.”

4 “Who won the battle?” David asked. The man said, “Our army turned and ran, but many were wounded and died. Even King Saul and his son Jonathan are dead.”
