2 Le troisième jour, un homme arriva du camp de Saül, les vêtements déchirés et la tête couverte de terre. Lorsqu’il fut en présence de David, il se jeta par terre et se prosterna.
3 David lui dit: D’où viens-tu? Et il lui répondit: Je me suis sauvé du camp d’Israël.
4 David lui dit: Que s’est-il passé? Dis-moi donc! Et il répondit: Le peuple s’est enfui du champ de bataille, et un grand nombre d’hommes sont tombés et ont péri; Saül même et Jonathan, son fils, sont morts.
5 David dit au jeune homme qui lui apportait ces nouvelles: Comment sais-tu que Saül et Jonathan, son fils, sont morts?
