2 Samuel

2 Samuel follows David's reign, first in Judah and then over all Israel.

2 Samuel chapter 1

1After the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag,

2on the third day, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn and earth on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the earth and showed respect.

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