1 Samuel 4:12

1Sa 4:12 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.

Ver. 12. And there ran a man of Benjamin. ] Not Saul, as some of the Jewish doctors have dreamed, but another Benjamite.

With his clothes rent. ] In token of grief to the breaking of his loins. Eze 21:6

And with earth upon his head. ] As weary of his life, and not willing to be any longer above ground.
