3And Dauid said vnto him, From whence commest thou? And he said vnto him, Out of the campe of Israel am I escaped. 4And Dauid said vnto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell mee. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battell, and many of the people also are fallen and dead, and Saul and Ionathan his sonne are dead also. 5And Dauid said vnto the yong man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Ionathan his sonne be dead? 6And the yong man that told him, said, As I happened by chance vpon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned vpon his speare: and loe, the charets and horsemen followed hard after him. 7And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called vnto mee: and I answered, Here am I.
