Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;(2 Samuel 1:1)

It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.(2 Samuel 1:2)

And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.(2 Samuel 1:3)

And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?(2 Samuel 1:5)

And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.(2 Samuel 1:6)

And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.(2 Samuel 1:7)
