But the next day, the second day of the month, David’s place was empty again. Then Saul said to his son Jonathan,“ Why hasn’t the son of Jesse come to the meal, either yesterday or today?”

But on the second day, the day after the new moon, David’s place was empty. And Saul said to Jonathan his son,“ Why has not the son of Jesse come to the meal, either yesterday or today?”

But when David’s place was empty again the next day, Saul asked Jonathan,“ Why hasn’t the son of Jesse been here for the meal either yesterday or today?”

However, the day after the New Moon, the second day, David’s place was still empty, and Saul asked his son Jonathan,“ Why didn’t Jesse’s son come to the meal either yesterday or today?”

But it came about the next day, the second day of the new moon, that David’s place was empty again; so Saul said to his son Jonathan,“ Why has the son of Jesse not come to the meal, either yesterday or today?”

And it happened the next day, the second day of the month, that David’s place was empty. And Saul said to Jonathan his son,“ Why has the son of Jesse not come to eat, either yesterday or today?”

And it came to pass on the morrow after the new moon, which was the second day, 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?

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?

But the next morning, the second day of the new moon, David’s place was still vacant. So Saul said to his son Jonathan,“ Why has Jesse’s son not come to the meal yesterday or today?”

On the next day after the new moon, the second day, David’s place was empty. Saul said to Jonathan his son,“ Why doesn’t the son of Jesse come to eat, either yesterday, or today?”

Jesse’s family is like a tree that has been cut down. A new little tree will grow from its stump. From its roots a Branch will grow and produce fruit.The Spirit of the Lord will rest on that Branch. The Spirit will help him to be wise and understanding. The Spirit will help him make wise plans and carry them out. The Spirit will help him know the Lord and have respect for him.

Nabal answered David’s servants,“ Who is this David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants are running away from their masters these days.

He threw it at David. As he did, he said to himself,“ I’ll pin David to the wall.” But David got away from him twice.

“ Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary? Aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas?

Saul said to him,“ Why have you and Jesse’s son joined together against me? Why did you give him bread and a sword? Why did you ask God a question for him? Now he has turned against me. He is hiding and waiting to attack me right now.”Ahimelek answered the king,“ David is faithful to you. In fact, he’s more faithful to you than anyone else who serves you. He’s your own son- in- law. He’s the captain of your own personal guards. He’s highly respected by everyone in your palace.

But an evil spirit sent by the Lord came on Saul. It happened as he was sitting in his house and holding his spear. While David was playing the harp,Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear. But David got away from him just as Saul drove the spear into the wall. That night David escaped.

Then Saul sent the men back to see David. He told them,“ Bring him up here to me in his bed. Then I’ll kill him.”

Christ is the living Stone. People did not accept him, but God chose him. God places the highest value on him.

Saul said to them,“ Men of Benjamin, listen to me! Do you think Jesse’s son will give all of you fields and vineyards? Do you think he’ll make some of you commanders of thousands of men? Do you think he’ll make the rest of you commanders of hundreds?Is that why all of you have joined together against me? No one tells me when my son makes a covenant with Jesse’s son. None of you is concerned about me. No one tells me that my son has stirred up Jesse’s son to hide and wait to attack me. But that’s exactly what’s happening now.”Doeg was standing with Saul’s officials. He was from Edom. He said,“ I saw Jesse’s son David come to Ahimelek at Nob. Ahimelek is the son of Ahitub.
