1 Samuel 20:24-29

24And DavidH1732 hidH5641 himself in the fieldH7704; and it wasH1961 the newH2320 moonH2320, and the kingH4428 satH3427 at table to eatH398.

25And the kingH4428 satH3427 on his seatH4186, as at other timesH6471, on the seatH4186 by the wallH7023; and JonathanH3083 aroseH6965, and AbnerH74 satH3427 by Saul's sideH6654, and David's placeH4725 was empty.

26And SaulH7586 saidH559 nothing that dayH3117; for he thought, Something has befallen [him], that he is not cleanH2889: surely he is not cleanH2889.

27And it cameH935 to pass the nextH4283 dayH3117 after the newH2320 moonH2320, the secondH8145 [dayH3117 of the monthH2320], as David's placeH4725 wasH1961 empty, that SaulH7586 saidH559 to JonathanH3083 his sonH1121, WhyH4069 has not the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 comeH935 to table, neither yesterdayH8543 nor to-day?

28And JonathanH3083 answeredH6030 SaulH7586, DavidH1732 earnestly askedH7592 leave of me [to go] to Bethlehem,

29and saidH559, Let me goH935, I pray thee; for we have a familyH4940 sacrificeH2077 in the cityH5892; and my brotherH251 himself has commandedH6680 me [to be there]; and nowH6258, if I have foundH4672 favour in thy sight, let me goH935 awayH7971, I pray thee, and seeH7200 my brethren. He has thereforeH3651 not comeH935 to the king's tableH7979.
