1 Samuel 20:4-6

American Standard Version

⁴ Then said Jonathan unto David, ^[a]Whatsoever thy soul ^[b]desireth, I will even do it for thee. ⁵ And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to-morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even. ⁶ If thy father miss me at all, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
