ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૨૦:૨૯
તેણે કહ્યું કે, ‘કૃપા કરીને મને જવા દે. કેમ કે અમારા કુટુંબે નગરમાં યજ્ઞ કરવાનો છે અને મારા ભાઈએ મને ત્યાં જવાનો હુકમ કર્યો છે. હવે, જો તારી દ્રષ્ટિમાં હું કૃપા પામ્યો હોઉં, તો કૃપા કરી મને અહીંથી જઈને મારા ભાઈઓને મળવા દે.’ એ માટે તે રાજાના ભોજનમાં આવ્યો નથી.”
हिन्दी1 शमूएल २०:२९
और कहा, ‘मुझे जाने दे; क्योंकि उस नगर में हमारे कुल का यज्ञ है, और मेरे भाई ने मुझ को वहाँ उपस्थित होने की आज्ञा दी है। और अब यदि मुझ पर तेरे अनुग्रह की दृष्टि हो, तो मुझे जाने दे कि मैं अपने भाइयों से भेंट कर आऊँ।’ इसी कारण वह राजा की मेज पर नहीं आया।”

In context

27On the next day after the new moon, the second day, David’s place was empty. Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why didn’t the son of Jesse come to eat, either yesterday, or today?”

28Jonathan answered Saul, “David earnestly asked permission of me to go to Bethlehem.

29He said, ‘Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city. My brother has commanded me to be there. Now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me go away and see my brothers.’ Therefore he has not come to the king’s table.”

30Then Saul’s anger burned against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse rebellious woman, don’t I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?

31For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you will not be established, nor will your kingdom. Therefore now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die!”
