1 Samuel 20:26-28

Jubilee Bible 2000

²⁶ Nevertheless, Saul said nothing that day, for he thought, Something has befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.

²⁷ And it came to pass on the next day, which was the second day of the new moon, that David’s place was empty, and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Why did not the son of Jesse come to food, neither yesterday nor today?

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