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

And David said unto him, from whence comest thou?.... It is very likely by his appearance and circumstances he suspected from whence he came:

and he said unto him, out of the camp of Israel am I escaped; which plainly suggested that that was in danger, confusion, and distress.
