1 Samuel 20:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul [a]requireth, that I will do unto thee.
5 And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, tomorrow is the [b]first day of the month, and I should sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the fields unto the third day at even.
6 If thy father make mention of me, then say, David asked leave of me, that he might go to Bethlehem to his own city: for there is a [c]yearly sacrifice for all that family.

1 Samuel 20:4-6
New International Version
4 Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do for you.”
5 So David said, “Look, tomorrow is the New Moon feast,(A) and I am supposed to dine with the king; but let me go and hide(B) in the field until the evening of the day after tomorrow. 6 If your father misses me at all, tell him, ‘David earnestly asked my permission(C) to hurry to Bethlehem,(D) his hometown, because an annual(E) sacrifice is being made there for his whole clan.’
