Gill's Notes on the Bible
And David said unto the young man that told him,.... These tidings:
how knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead? this he particularly inquired after, as what most affected him, and was most material for him to know; and his meaning is, whether he had this of his own sight and knowledge, or by report.
