1 Samuel 20:25 Context
23And as touching the matter which thou and I haue spoken of, behold, the Lord be betweene thee and mee for euer. 24¶ So Dauid hid himselfe in the field: and when the newe moone was come, the king sate him downe to eate meate. 25And the king sate vpon his seate, as at other times, euen vpon a seate by the wall: and Ionathan arose, and Abner sate by Sauls side, and Dauids place was emptie. 26Neuerthelesse, Saul spake not any thing that day: for hee thought, Some thing hath befallen him, hee is not cleane; surely he is not cleane. 27And it came to passe on the morrow which was the second day of the moneth, that Dauids place was emptie: and Saul said vnto Ionathan his sonne, Wherefore commeth not the sonne of Iesse to meat, neither yesterday nor to day?
