1 Samuel 20:28-29

28Jonathan answered Saul, "David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem.

29He said, 'Let me go, for our clan holds a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to be there. So now, if I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away and see my brothers.' For this reason he has not come to the king's table."
