Context of 1 Samuel 20:24
22But if I say to the boy, “Look, the arrows are beyond you,” you must run away. It will mean that the Lord has sent you away. 23But never forget the promise that we have made to each other. The Lord will make sure that we are faithful to each other.’ So David hid in the field. At the time of the new moon, the king sat down to eat the special meal. 25He sat beside the wall in his usual place. Jonathan sat with his face towards him. Abner sat beside the king. David's seat was empty. 26Saul did not say anything about it that day. He thought, ‘Perhaps something has happened to David that has made him unclean. I am sure that is why he is not here.’
