In context

22But if I say this to the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are beyond you,’ then go your way, for the LORD has sent you away.

23Concerning the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD is between you and me forever.”

24So David hid himself in the field. When the new moon had come, the king sat himself down to eat food.

25The king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, but David’s place was empty.

26Nevertheless Saul didn’t say anything that day, for he thought, “Something has happened to him. He is not clean. Surely he is not clean.”
