2 Samuel 1:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ “Where have you come from?” David asked him.

He answered, “I’ve escaped from Israel’s camp.”

⁴ “What happened?” David asked. “Tell me.”

He said, “Israel’s men ran away from the battle. Many of them were killed. Saul and his son Jonathan are dead.”

⁵ David spoke to the young man who brought him the report. He asked him, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
