09:020:023 And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of,
           behold, the lord be between thee and me for ever.

09:020:024 So David hid himself in the field:  and when the new moon was
           come, the king sat him down to eat meat.

09:020:025 And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a
           seat by the wall:  and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul’s
           side, and David’s place was empty.

09:020:026 Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day:  for he
           thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely
           he is not clean.

09:020:027 And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of
           the month, that David’s place was empty:  and Saul said unto
           Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to
           meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?

09:020:028 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me
           to go to Bethlehem: 

09:020:029 And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a
           sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to
           be there:  and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let
           me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren.  Therefore he
           cometh not unto the king’s table.

09:020:030 Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said
           unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I
           know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own
           confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother’s nakedness?

09:020:031 For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou
           shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom.  Wherefore now send
           and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.

09:020:032 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him,
           Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done?

09:020:033 And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him:  whereby Jonathan
           knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.

09:020:034 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat
           no meat the second day of the month:  for he was grieved for
           David, because his father had done him shame.

09:020:035 And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out
           into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little
           lad with him.

09:020:036 And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I
           shoot.  And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

09:020:037 And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which
           Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is
           not the arrow beyond thee?
