1 Samuel 20:24-29

24SoH1961 DavidH1732 hidH5641 himselfH3427 in the fieldH7704: and when the newH2320 moonH2320 was comeH1961, the kingH4428 satH3427 him downH3427 to eatH398 meat.

25And the kingH4428 satH3427 uponH5921 his seatH4186, as at otherH6471 timesH6471, evenH5921 uponH5921 the seatH4186 by the wallH7023; and JonathanH3083 stoodH6965 upH6965, and AbnerH74 satH3427 by Saul’sH7586 sideH6654: but David’sH1732 placeH4725 was emptyH6485.

26NeverthelessH3588 SaulH7586 spake notH3808 anyH3972 thingH3588 that dayH3117: for he thoughtH559, SomethingH3972 hath befallen him, he is notH3808 cleanH2889; surelyH3588 he is notH3808 cleanH2889.

27And it cameH935 to passH935 on the morrow afterH4283 the newH2320 moonH2320, whichH3899 was the secondH8145 dayH3117, that David’sH1732 placeH4725 was emptyH6485: and SaulH7586 saidH559 unto JonathanH3083 his sonH1121, Wherefore cometh notH3808 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 to meat, neitherH3808 yesterdayH8543, norH3808 todayH3117?

28And JonathanH3083 answeredH6030 SaulH7586, DavidH1732 earnestlyH7592 askedH7592 leaveH7592 of meH5978 to go to Beth-lehem:

29and he saidH559, LetH7971 meH413 goH935, I prayH4994 thee; for our familyH4940 hath a sacrificeH2077 in the cityH5892; and my brotherH251, he hath commandedH6680 meH413 to be there: and nowH6258, ifH518 I have foundH4672 favour in thine eyesH5869, letH7971 meH413 getH935 awayH7971, I prayH4994 thee, and seeH7200 my brethrenH251. Therefore he is notH3808 comeH935 unto the king’sH4428 tableH7979.
