So David hid in the field, and when the New Moon had come, the king sat down to eat.

1 Samuel 20:5
So David told him, "Look, tomorrow is the New Moon, and I am supposed to dine with the king. Instead, let me go and hide in the field until the third evening from now.

1 Samuel 20:23
And as for the matter you and I have discussed, the LORD is a witness between you and me forever."

1 Samuel 20:25
He sat in his usual place by the wall, opposite Jonathan and beside Abner, but David's place was empty.

So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat.
