1 SAMUEL 20:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David’s place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?”
And on the day of the new moon, the king sat down to eat food — Saul's *va'yesheb hamelekh al ha'lechem*, sat down to eat, initiates the test; the royal feast proceeds without David's presence. The gathering of the court becomes a setting for the revelation of Saul's true disposition.
