2 Samuel 1:2 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 1:2

It came to pass on the third day
After the battle was fought, in which Saul was slain:

that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul;
that is, from them who were in the camp with Saul, for he was dead. Some say F4 this was Doeg the Edomite, which is not likely that he should come with such tidings to David; besides, if he was Saul's armourbearer, as others say, see ( 1 Samuel 31:4 ) ; he died with Saul; nor his son, as others F5, which is not at all probable, though his being an Edomite is no objection, since the Amalekites were of the race of Edom:

with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head:
in token of mourning, and was the bringer of bad tidings, see ( 1 Samuel 4:12 ) ;

and [so] it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and
did obeisance;
as being the rising sun, Saul's successor, and now king.

2 Samuel 1:2 In-Context

1 Y aconteci贸 despu茅s de la muerte de Sa煤l, que vuelto David de la derrota de los amalecitas, estuvo dos d铆as en Siclag;
2 y al tercer d铆a aconteci贸, que vino uno del campamento de Sa煤l, rotos sus vestidos, y tierra sobre su cabeza; y llegando a David, se postr贸 en tierra, y ador贸.
3 Y le pregunt贸 David: 驴De d贸nde vienes? Y 茅l respondi贸: Heme escapado del campamento de Israel.
4 Y David le dijo: 驴Qu茅 ha acontecido? Te ruego que me lo digas. Y 茅l respondi贸: El pueblo huy贸 de la batalla, y tambi茅n muchos del pueblo cayeron y son muertos; tambi茅n Sa煤l y Jonat谩n su hijo murieron.
5 Y dijo David a aquel joven que le daba las nuevas: 驴C贸mo sabes que Sa煤l es muerto, y Jonat谩n su hijo?
