2 Kings 1:2-7 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

2. 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.

3. And David said to him: From whence comest thou? And he said to him: I am fled out of the camp of Israel.

4. 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.

5. And David said to the young man that told him: How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son, are dead?

6. And the young man that told him, said: I came by chance upon mount Gelboe, and Saul leaned upon his spear: and the chariots and horsemen drew nigh unto him,

7. And looking behind him, and seeing me, he called me. And I answered, Here am I.
