1 Samuel 20:5-8
The empty-seat plan
Only a step between me and death · 1 Samuel 20
Open this scene in the reader →5David said to Jonathan, “Look, tomorrow is the new moon, and I am supposed to sit with the king to eat. But let me go, so that I may hide myself in the field until the third evening.”
6If your father surely notices me, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me to run to Bethlehem, his city, because the yearly sacrifice is there for the whole family.’
7If he says, ‘Good,’ there will be peace for your servant; but if he becomes very angry, know that evil has been determined by him.
8So show kindness to your servant, for you have brought your servant into the covenant of Yahweh with yourself. But if there is guilt in me, put me to death yourself; why should you bring me to your father?
