1 Samuel 20:23-25

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²³ As for the matter about which you and I have spoken, the Lord is witness^[a] between you and me for ever.’

²⁴ So David hid himself in the field. When the new moon came, the king sat at the feast to eat. ²⁵ The king sat upon his seat, as at other times, upon the seat by the wall. Jonathan stood, while Abner sat by Saul’s side; but David’s place was empty.
