1 Samuel 20:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ So David was hid in the field, and the new moon came, and the king sat down to eat bread.

²⁵ And when the king sat down upon his chair (according to custom) which was beside the wall, Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place appeared empty.

²⁶ And Saul said nothing that day, for he thought it might have happened to him, that he was not clean, nor purified.
