1 Samuel 20:23-25

GOD’S WORD Translation

²³ We have made a promise to each other, and the Lord is ⌞a witness⌟ between you and me forever.”

²⁴ So David hid in the countryside. When the New Moon Festival came, King Saul sat down to eat the festival meal. ²⁵ He sat in his usual seat by the wall, while Jonathan stood. Abner sat beside Saul, but David’s place was empty.
