Second Samuel 1:2

On the third day, a man came from Saul's camp [in the Valley of Jezreel] with his clothes torn and dirt on his head [two clear signs of mourning]. When he came to David, he fell to the ground and bowed down.
[The distance between Saul's camp in Gilboa in the Valley of Jezreel down to the Negev area around Beersheba is just over 200 km, usually a 4-5 day walk, but the reference to the third day suggests that he moved quickly with this urgent news.]
