Saul told his son Jonathan and his officers to kill David. But Jonathan liked David very much.

Jonathan said to David, “Tomorrow is the New Moon Feast. [173] Your seat will be empty, so my father will see that you are gone.

On the third day, I will go to that hill and act like I am shooting at a target. I will shoot some arrows.

The next morning Jonathan went out to the field. He went to meet David just like they agreed to do. Jonathan brought a little boy with him.

Then David said, “Look, tomorrow is the New Moon Feast. [172] I am supposed to eat with the king. But let me hide in the field until the evening.
