1 SAMUEL 20:29 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king’s table.”
And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked me for permission to go to Bethlehem — Jonathan's *va'yaanem Yehonatan et Shaul*, Jonathan answered Saul, delivers the scripted deception (*dola sha'al David me'imi* the double *she'al* emphasizing the earnest request). His *Bethlehem iro*, Bethlehem his city, provides geographical specificity to the lie, grounding it in plausibility.
