EasyEnglish Bible
David hears that Saul is dead
1 After David had won the fight against the Amalekites, he returned to Ziklag. He stayed in Ziklag for two days. Saul had already died.[a] 2 The next day, a man arrived from the camp of Saul's army.[b] He had dirt on his head and he had torn his clothes. When the man met David, he threw himself down on the ground to give honour to David.
3 David asked him, ‘Where have you come from?’
The man replied, ‘I have run from the Israelite army's camp.’
