• 1 Samuel 20:28

  Jonathan answered Saul, “David earnestly asked permission of me to go to Bethlehem.

• 1 Samuel 20:29

  He said, ‘Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city. My brother has commanded me to be there. Now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me go away and see my brothers.’ Therefore he has not come to the king’s table.”

• 1 Samuel 20:30

• 2 Samuel 19:42

• 2 Samuel 19:43

  The men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, “We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more claim to David than you.
