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 Après que Saül fut mort, David, étant revenu de la défaite des Amalécites, demeura à Tsiklag deux jours;
2 Et le troisième jour on vit paraître un homme qui revenait du camp, d'auprès de Saül, ayant ses vêtements déchirés et de la terre sur sa tête; et, étant venu vers David, il se jeta contre terre et se prosterna.
3 Et David lui dit: D'où viens-tu? Et il lui répondit: Je me suis échappé du camp d'Israël.
4 David lui dit: Qu'est-il arrivé? Raconte-le-moi donc. Il répondit: Le peuple s'est enfui de la bataille, et même un grand nombre sont tombés morts; Saül aussi et Jonathan, son fils, sont morts.
5 Et David dit au jeune homme qui lui donnait ces nouvelles: Comment sais-tu que Saül et Jonathan, son fils, sont morts?
