Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹¹ Then David took hold of his clothes and tore them,^(A) and all the men with him did the same. ¹² They mourned, wept, and fasted until the evening^(B) for those who died by the sword – for Saul, his son Jonathan, the Lord’s people, and the house of Israel.

¹³ David enquired of the young man who had brought him the report, ‘Where are you from? ’

‘I’m the son of a resident foreigner,’ he said. ‘I’m an Amalekite.’
