And it happened on the day after the new moon, David’s place was empty. And Saul said to his son Jonathan, Why has the son of Jesse not come to the meal, either yesterday or today?
And David said to Jonathan, Behold, the new moon is tomorrow. And sitting I should sit with the king to eat. And you shall send me away, and I shall be hidden in the field until the third evening.
And Nabal answered David’s servants and said, Who is David, and who the son of Jesse? The servants who have broken away from his master have multiplied today.
