24And David is hidden in the field, and it is the new moon, and the king sitteth down by the food to eat,


In Context

21 and lo, I send the youth: Go, find the arrows. If I at all say to the youth, Lo, the arrows are on this side of thee — take them, — then come thou, for peace is for thee, and there is nothing; Jehovah liveth.

22 And if thus I say to the young man, Lo, the arrows are beyond thee, — go, for Jehovah hath sent thee away;

23 as to the thing which we have spoken, I and thou, lo, Jehovah is between me and thee — unto the age.'

24 And David is hidden in the field, and it is the new moon, and the king sitteth down by the food to eat,

25 and the king sitteth on his seat, as time by time, on a seat by the wall, and Jonathan riseth, and Abner sitteth at the side of Saul, and David's place is looked after.

26 And Saul hath not spoken anything on that day, for he said, 'It is an accident; he is not clean — surely not clean.'
