1 Samuel 20:24-26

Darby Translation

²⁴ And David hid himself in the field; and it was the new moon, and the king sat at table to eat.

²⁵ And the king sat on his seat, as at other times, on the seat by the wall; and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty.

²⁶ And Saul said nothing that day; for he thought, Something has befallen [him], that he is not clean: surely he is not clean.
