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?
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 27 is found in chapter 20 of 1 Samuel. Saul discovers David’s absence, and his anger toward Jonathan reveals how deeply rivalry has dominated his perception. He even insults his own son and demands that he hand David over. Jonathan defends David by reminding Saul that David has done nothing deserving death. Saul’s reaction shows that fear of a potential rival has destroyed his family and political judgment. Jonathan, by contrast, maintains a moral perspective that recognizes David’s innocence above the king’s pressure.
