1 SAMUEL 20:26 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.”
So David hid in the field — David's *va'yishtaker David ba'sadeh*, hid in the field, marks his transition to fugitive existence; the open country becomes refuge, the palace is lost. The field is both literal hiding place and spiritual space, the wilderness where faith is tested and strengthened.
