1 Samuel 20:24-26
Revised Standard Version
24 So David hid himself in the field; and when the new moon came, the king sat down to eat food. 25 The king sat upon his seat, as at other times, upon the seat by the wall; Jonathan sat opposite,[a] and Abner sat by Saul’s side, but David’s place was empty.
26 Yet Saul did not say anything that day; for he thought, “Something has befallen him; he is not clean, surely he is not clean.”
