1 Samuel 20:24-29
24So DavidH1732 hidH5641 in the fieldH7704; and when the newH2320 moonH2320 cameH1961, the kingH4428 satH3427 downH3427 to eatH398 foodH3899. 25The kingH4428 satH3427 on his seatH4186 as usualH6471, the seatH4186 by the wallH7023; then JonathanH3083 roseH6965 up and AbnerH74 satH3427 downH3427 by Saul’sH7586 sideH6654, but 1David’sH1732 placeH4725 was emptyH6485. 26Nevertheless SaulH7586 did not speakH1696 anythingH3972 that dayH3117, for he thoughtH559, “It is an accidentH4745, 2he is not cleanH2889, surelyH3588 he is not cleanH2889.” 27It cameH1961 about the nextH4283 dayH4283, the secondH8145 day of the newH2320 moonH2320, that David’sH1732 placeH4725 was emptyH6485; so SaulH7586 saidH559 to JonathanH3083 his sonH1121, “WhyH4069 has the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 not comeH935 to the mealH3899, eitherH1571 yesterdayH8543 orH1571 todayH3117?” 28JonathanH3083 then answeredH6030 SaulH7586, “3DavidH1732 earnestlyH7592 askedH7592 leaveH7592 of me to go to BethlehemH1035, 29for he saidH559, ‘PleaseH4994 4letH7971 me goH7971, sinceH3588 our familyH4940 has a sacrificeH2077 in the cityH5892, and my brotherH251 has commandedH6680 me to attend. And nowH6258, ifH518 I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in your sightH5869, pleaseH4994 let me getH4422 awayH4422 that I may seeH7200 my brothersH251.’ For thisH3651 reasonH5921H3651 he has not comeH935 to the king’sH4428 tableH7979.”
