What was he doing?Why did it happen on the third day, that behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul? Why were his clothes torn and dust on his head? Who was he? Why did it come about when he came to David that he fell to the ground and prostrated himself? Why did he do that? Did he know who David was? What was he doing?Why did then David say to him about from where did he come? And why did the man say to David that he had escaped from the camp of Israel? Why would he need to escape from the camp of Israel?Why did David say to him about how did things go and to please tell him? How did David know what was happening? David knew the Philistines attacked Israel because he was sent home. Why would the man say that the people had fled from the battle, and also many of the people have fallen and are dead? Why would he tell David that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also? Why just Saul and Jonathan? Why not just Saul and his sons also? Why does he specifically word Saul and Jonathan? Is this Satan knowing exactly how to tempt David and to have him sin? Why would the man say this to David? What does Satan think David is supposed to do? What is his purpose?Why does David say to the young man who told him about how he knew that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead? Was he not there when the Philistines slaughtered the sons of Israel and Saul and his sons? How would he know?Why did the young man lie to David? Why did the young man who told him say that by chance he happened to be on Mount Gilboa? Why did he say that behold, Saul was leaning on his spear? How did he know that? Why did he say that behold, the chariots and the horsemen pursued him closely? How would he know that otherwise?Why did the young man say that when Saul looked behind him, Saul saw the young man and called to him and he said to Saul that here he was? Why would he lie? Why would he say that? The Philistines did not find Saul and his sons until the next day. David had slaughtered the Amalekites. Why was the Amalekite there? Why would Saul say to the Amalekite to come to him? Why would the Amalekite be there?Why would Saul say to the young man about who he was and he answered him that he was in Amalekite? Why would Saul say to him to please stand beside him and kill him; for agony had seized him because his life still lingers in him?Why would the Amalekite tell David that he stood beside Saul and killed him, because he knew that he could not live after he had fallen? Why would he tell him that he took the crown which was on Saul's head and the bracelet which was on his arm, and had brought them here to his lord, to David? What was he thinking?Why would David then take hold of his clothes and tear them, and so also did all the men who were with him? Why would he do that? What does it mean? Would he do that because he is sad and is in mourning?Why did they mourn and weep and fast until evening? Why would they do that for Saul and his son Jonathan and for the people of You and the house of Israel? Why would it matter they had fallen by the sword? Why would he do that for Saul who wanted him dead? Is David not relieved? Is he not tired of running and hiding from Saul? Why would he mourn for him?Why would David say to the young man who told him about where he is from? Why would he answer David that he is the son of an alien, and Amalekite? Is the young man a demon sent to David? What is he doing? Why would David then say to him about how is it that he was not afraid to stretch out his hand to destroy Your anointed? Why would David ask him that? What does that mean? Why did David call one of the young men and say to go, cut him down? Why would he have the young men do it? Why would he not do it himself?
