How long did it take the man to travel from Saul’s camp to where David was?
2 Samuel 1:2 (ESV)
2And on the third day, behold, a man came from Saul’s camp, with his clothes torn and dirt on his head. And when he came to David, he fell to the ground and paid homage.
Given the distance between Gilboa and Ziklag, it would have taken the man at least three days of travel, probably more.1
