1 Now after the death of Saul, when David returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, he had stayed two days in Ziklag,

2 When on the third day a man came from Saul’s camp with his clothes torn and dust on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the ground and did obeisance.

3 David said to him, Where have you come from? He said, I have escaped from the camp of Israel.
