2 Samuel 1:2-4

Tree of Life Version

² On the third day, behold, a man came from Saul’s camp, with his clothes torn and dust on his head. Now when he approached David, he fell to the ground and prostrated himself.

³ Then David asked him, “Where are you coming from?”

“I’ve escaped from the camp of Israel,” he answered.

⁴ “How did things go?” David asked him. “Please, tell me.”

He answered, “The troops fled the battlefield—also many of the troops fell and died. And even Saul and his son Jonathan are dead.”
