1 Samuel 20:25-27 ▼

25 And the king sat on his seat, as time by time, on a seat by the wall. And Jonathan arose, and Abner sat at the side of Saul, and the place of David was found empty.

26 And Saul did not say anything on that day, for he said, “Something has happened to that he is not clean; he surely is not clean.”

27 And it came to pass on the next day, the second of the New Moon, that the place of David was found empty. And Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why has not the son of Jesse come either yesterday or today to eat?”
