The World English Bible (WEB): 2 Samuel
Book 10 2 Samuel 001:001 It happened after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag; 001:002 it happened on the third day, that behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn, and earth on his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance. 001:003 David said to him, From whence come you? He said to him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped. 001:004 David said to him, How went the matter? Please tell me. He answered, The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also. 001:005 David said to the young man who told him, How know you that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead? 001:006 The young man who told him said, As I happened by chance on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and the horsemen followed hard after him. 001:007 When he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. I answered, Here am I.

"I'll ask Laurie. He will go," said Jo, looking relieved as
the idea occurred to her.
"Mercy, no! Don't ask or tell anyone. Get me my rubbers, and
put these slippers with our things. I can't dance anymore, but as
soon as supper is over, watch for Hannah and tell me the minute she
comes."
"They are going out to supper now. I'll stay with you. I'd
rather."
"No, dear, run along, and bring me some coffee. I'm so tired
I can't stir."
