1 Samuel 20:24-26

21st Century King James Version

²⁴ So David hid himself in the field; and when the new moon had come, the king sat down to eat meat.

²⁵ And the king sat upon his seat as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall; and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, and David’s place was empty.

²⁶ Nevertheless Saul spoke not any thing that day, for he thought, “Something hath befallen him. He is not clean, surely he is not clean.”
