2 Samuel 1:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² And on the third day, there appeared a man who came out of Saul's camp, with his garments rent, and dust strewed on his head: and when he came to David, he fell upon his face, and adored.

³ And David said to him: From whence comest thou? And he said to him: I am fled out of the camp of Israel.

⁴ And David said unto him: What is the matter that is come to pass? tell me. He said: The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people are fallen and dead: moreover Saul and Jonathan his son are slain.
