2 Samuel 1:1 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 1:1

Now it came to pass after the death of Saul
The third day after, as appears from the next verse:

when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites;
as related in ( 1 Samuel 30:17 ) ;

and David had abode two days in Ziklag;
which, though fired by the Amalekites, was not utterly consumed, but there was still some convenience for the lodging of David and his men; within this time he sent his presents to several places in the tribe of Judah, of which mention is made in the chapter before quoted, and at the same time it was that so many mighty men came to him from several tribes spoken of in ( 1 Chronicles 12:1-40 ) .

2 Samuel 1:1 In-Context

1 factum est autem postquam mortuus est Saul ut David reverteretur a caede Amalech et maneret in Siceleg dies duos

2 in die autem tertia apparuit homo veniens de castris Saul veste conscissa et pulvere aspersus caput et ut venit ad David cecidit super faciem suam et adoravit

3 dixitque ad eum David unde venis qui ait ad eum de castris Israhel fugi

4 et dixit ad eum David quod est verbum quod factum est indica mihi qui ait fugit populus e proelio et multi corruentes e populo mortui sunt sed et Saul et Ionathan filius eius interierunt

5 dixitque David ad adulescentem qui nuntiabat unde scis quia mortuus est Saul et Ionathan filius eius
