And on the third day there appeared a man who came out of Saul's camp, with his garments rent, and dust strewed on his head: and when he came to David he fell upon his face, and adored.
And David said unto him: What is the matter that is come to pass? Tell me. He said: The people are fled from the battle: and many of the people are fallen and dead. Moreover Saul and Jonathan his son are slain.
And David said to him: To whom dost thou belong? Or whence dost thou come? And whither art thou going? He said: I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalecite: and my master left me, because I began to be sick three days ago.
