New International Version
28 Jonathan answered, “David earnestly asked me for permission(A) to go to Bethlehem. 29 He said, ‘Let me go, because our family is observing a sacrifice(B) in the town and my brother has ordered me to be there. If I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away to see my brothers.’ That is why he has not come to the king’s table.”
30 Saul’s anger flared up at Jonathan and he said to him, “You son of a perverse and rebellious woman! Don’t I know that you have sided with the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of the mother who bore you?
