1 Samuel 20:24-26
Holman Christian Standard Bible
24 So David hid in the field.
At the New Moon, the king sat down to eat the meal. 25 He sat at his usual place on the seat by the wall. Jonathan sat facing him[a] and Abner took his place beside Saul, but David’s place was empty.(A) 26 Saul did not say anything that day because he thought, “Something unexpected has happened; he must be ceremonially unclean—yes, that’s it, he is unclean.”(B)
