1 Samuel 20:26-28

21st Century King James Version

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.”

²⁷ And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David’s place was empty. And Saul said unto Jonathan his son, “Why cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday nor today?”

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