Jonathan Supports David Over Saul
25 And the king sat him down after the old manner, in his seat by the wall. And Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty. 26 Nevertheless, yet Saul said nothing at all that day. For he thought, 'Something has chanced him that he is not clean.' 27 But on the morrow which was the second day of the moon, when David's place appeared empty, Saul said unto Jonathan his son, "Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday nor today?"
