Shmuel Bais 1:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 1:3

And David said unto him, from whence comest thou?
&c.] It is very likely by his appearance and circumstances he suspected from whence he came:

and he said unto him, out of the camp of Israel am I escaped;
which plainly suggested that that was in danger, confusion, and distress.

Shmuel Bais 1:3 In-Context

1 Now it came to pass after the mot Sha’ul, when Dovid was returned from the slaughter of Amalek, and Dovid had abode two yamim in Tziklag;

2 It came even to pass on Yom HaShlishi, that, hinei, an ish came out of the machaneh from Sha’ul with his clothes torn, and adamah upon his rosh; and so it was, when he came to Dovid, that he fell to the ground, and prostrated himself.

3 And Dovid said unto him, From where comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the machaneh Yisroel am I escaped.

4 And Dovid said unto him, How went the matter? Tell me now. And he answered, That the people are fled from the milchamah, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Sha’ul and Yonatan bno are dead also.

5 And Dovid said unto the na’ar that told him, How knowest thou that Sha’ul and Yonatan bno are dead?
