Contextual Overview

¹ Now Saul was dead. After David had defeated the Amalekites, he returned to Ziklag and stayed there two days. ² On the third day a young man from Saul's camp came to Ziklag. To show his sadness, his clothes were torn and he had dirt on his head. He came and bowed facedown on the ground before David. ³ David asked him, "Where did you come from?" The man answered, "I escaped from the Israelite camp." ⁴ David asked him, "What happened? Please tell me!" The man answered, "The people have run away from the battle, and many of them have fallen and are dead. Saul and his son Jonathan are dead also." ⁵ David asked him, "How do you know Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?" ⁶ The young man answered, "I happened to be on Mount Gilboa. There I saw Saul leaning on his spear. The Philistine chariots and the men riding in them were coming closer to Saul. ⁷ When he looked back and saw me, he called to me. I answered him, ‘Here I am!' ⁸ "Then Saul asked me, ‘Who are you?' "I told him, ‘I am an Amalekite.' ⁹ "Then Saul said to me, ‘Please come here and kill me. I am badly hurt and am almost dead already.' ¹⁰ "So I went over and killed him. He had been hurt so badly I knew he couldn't live. Then I took the crown from his head and the bracelet from his arm, and I have brought them here to you, my master."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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 d 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 e, 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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 1:2. A man came out of the camp — The whole account which this young man gives is a fabrication: in many of the particulars it is grossly self-contradictory. There is no fact in the case but the bringing of the crown, or diadem, and bracelets of Saul; which, as he appears to have been a plunderer of the slain, he found on the field of battle; and he brought them to David, and told the lie of having despatched Saul, merely to ingratiate himself with David.
