2 Samuel / Question
Question source
2 Samuel
When the report came, David and his men tore their clothes, wept, and fasted until evening for Saul, Jonathan, and Israel’s defeat. The text presents this as public mourning over the fallen leaders and the people. See 2 Samuel 1:11–12.
11Then David took hold on his clothes, and tore them; and likewise all the men who were with him:
12and they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Yahweh, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
