1 Samuel 20:5-7
International Standard Version
5 David told Jonathan, “Look, the New Moon is tomorrow, and I’m expected to sit down with the king to eat. Let me go so I can hide in the field until the evening of the day after tomorrow.[a] 6 If your father actually notices that I’m not there,[b] then you are to say, ‘David urgently requested that I allow him to run to his hometown of Bethlehem because the yearly sacrifice for the entire family was taking place there.’ 7 If he says, ‘Good,’ then your servant will be safe.[c] But if he actually gets angry, you will know that his intentions are evil.[d]
