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?”

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?”

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?

“ Who is this fellow David?” Nabal sneered to the young men.“ Who does this son of Jesse think he is? There are lots of servants these days who run away from their masters.

Then they scoffed,“ He’s just the carpenter’s son, and we know Mary, his mother, and his brothers— James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas.
