RE: Where would you find this opinion?
A disaster in a German city in 1958 has a link to the answer.

( Googling is allowed. I only suggested it would be difficult)

"11 Then David and all the men with him took hold of their clothes and tore them. 12 They mourned and wept and fasted till evening for Saul and his son Jonathan, and for the army of the Lord and for the nation of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword."
(2 Samuel 1:11-12)


The reference to Burns poem only relates to the date of the original formal documentation.

“The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor,
Is king o' men for a' that” Robert Burns
