'Messenger' in the Bible

Then the messenger answered and said, "Israel has fled before [the] Philistines. There has been a great defeat among the troops. Also, your two sons have died, Hophni and Phinehas, and the ark of God has been captured."

But a messenger came to Saul, saying, "Hurry and come, because [the] Philistines have made a raid on the land!"
