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, how went the matter? I pray thee, tell me,.... That is, how went the battle? on which side the victory?

and he answered, that the people are fled from the battle; meaning the people of Israel, they had given way, and turned their backs upon their enemies, and were fled:

and many of the people also are fallen and dead; fell by the sword in the pursuit of them, and were not only wounded, but were slain, and these great numbers of them:

and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also; which are mentioned last, because they fell some of the last; and this part of the account is reserved by the messenger to the last, because it was the article of the greatest importance; the death of these two persons, the one the enemy, and the other the friend of David, and the death of both made way for his accession to the throne.
