    24So David hid himself in the field, and when the new moon came, the king sat down to eat.

    25He sat in his customary place by the wall, with Jonathan sitting opposite him, and Abner beside Saul. But David's place was empty.

    26Saul said nothing that day, for he thought, 'Something must have happened to him. He’s not ceremonially clean; surely he’s unclean.'

    27But on the second day of the month, David's place was still empty. So Saul asked Jonathan, 'Why hasn’t the son of Jesse come to the meal either yesterday or today?'

    28Jonathan answered Saul, 'David earnestly asked me for permission to go to Bethlehem.'

    29He said, ‘Please let me go, for our family is holding a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to attend. If I have found favor in your eyes, let me go and see my brothers.’ That is why he has not come to the king’s table.

    30Saul’s anger flared up at Jonathan, and he said to him, 'You son of a perverse and rebellious woman! Don’t I know that you have sided with the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?'

    27Jonathan, however, had not heard his father make the people swear the oath. So he reached out the tip of the staff in his hand, dipped it into the honeycomb, and raised it to his mouth. His eyes then brightened.

    28Then one of the men said, 'Your father solemnly charged the people, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’ That is why the people are faint.'

    29Jonathan said, 'My father has brought trouble to the land. See how my eyes have brightened because I tasted just a little of this honey.'
