27 But on the day after the New Moon, the second day, David’s (beloved) place was still empty, and Saul (desired) asked his son Jonathan (YHWH has given), “Why hasn’t the son of Jesse (I possess) come to the meal either yesterday or today?” 28 Jonathan (YHWH has given) (desired) answered, “David (beloved) urgently requested my permission to go to Bethlehem (house of bread), 29 saying, ‘Please let me go, because our clan is holding a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has told me to be there. So now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me go and see my brothers.’ That is why he has not come to the king’s table.” 1 Samuel 20:27-29, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
