David being at Ziklag receiveth tidings by an Amalekite of Saul and Jonathan's death: the messenger pretendeth himself to have killed Saul 2Sa_1:1-12. David causeth him to be put to death, 2Sa_1:13-16; lamenteth Saul and Jonathan with a song, 2Sa_1:17-27.
Which though burnt, yet was not so consumed by the fire, that David and his men could not lodge in it.
