1 Samuel 20:4-6

English Standard Version

⁴ Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you say, I will do for you.” ⁵ David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is ^(A)the new moon, and I should not fail to sit at table with the king. But let me go, ^(B)that I may hide myself in the field till the third day at evening. ^6 (C)If your father misses me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me to run ^(D)to Bethlehem his city, for there is a yearly ^(E)sacrifice there for all the clan.’
