2 Samuel 1:1-3

Living Bible

1 ^1-2 Saul was dead and David had returned to Ziklag after slaughtering the Amalekites. Three days later a man arrived from the Israeli army with his clothes torn and with dirt on his head as a sign of mourning. He fell to the ground before David in deep respect.

³ “Where do you come from?” David asked.

“From the Israeli army,” he replied.
