1 Samuel 20:4-6

Lexham English Bible

⁴ Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you wish,^[a] I will do for you.” ⁵ David said to Jonathan, “Look, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should certainly sit with the king to eat. You must send me away so that I can hide myself in the field until the third evening. ⁶ If your father misses me at all, then you must say, ‘David earnestly asked from me to run to Bethlehem his city, for the yearly sacrifice^[b] is there for all the clan.’
