1 Samuel 20:22-25 New Century Version (NCV)

22. But if I say to the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you,’ you must go, because the Lord is sending you away.

23. Remember what we talked about. The Lord is a witness between you and me forever.”

24. So David hid in the field. When the New Moon festival came, the king sat down to eat.

25. He sat where he always sat, near the wall. Jonathan sat across from him, and Abner sat next to Saul, but David’s place was empty.
