1 Samuel 20:25-27

Young's Literal Translation

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.'

²⁷ And it cometh to pass on the second morrow of the new moon, that David's place is looked after, and Saul saith unto Jonathan his son, `Wherefore hath the son of Jesse not come in, either yesterday or to-day, unto the food?'
